OUDG401- Task 2 Modernism & Postmodernism



Mike Joyc combined his love of punk rock music and modernism together, mike has redesigned vintage punk, hardcore, new wave, and indie rock show flyers into international typographic style posters. Each design is set in lowercase Berthold Akzidenz-Grotesk medium (not Helvetica).

Modernism is a times piece of artwork, in modernism Form follows function, the principle is that the shape of a building or object should be primarily based upon its intended function or purpose. Like this poster is for a gig it has the name of the bands the data and place. This poster its doing what it should be doing informing people about the event, where and when it is. 


Ed Fella is an artist, educator, and graphic designer whose groundbreaking works in typography ushered a new era in graphic design. 

postmodernism started after modernism in 1960s its unorganised hard to read, not clear, very busy and hard to see the purpose of the artwork form does not follow function. postmodernism is used in architecture, magazines, sculptures and other artworks. Looking at this image it had to see what it trying tell us, unlike the modernism poster which is very simple and clear to see what it is.
