5 pieces of Post Modernist & Modernist Design
POST MODERNIST
- Long live Modernism, Massimo Vignelli
Neville Brody -The Face spread - This is an example of post modernist design , It Isn't simple it uses bright colours large text representing a quirky style.
The same style is represented on this editorial produced by David Carson , lots of his pieces of work feature un-legible text featured with image. classic example of post modernist design making the reader look closer to actually make out what is being displayed.
This piece of post modernist graphic design is a spread about Bryan Ferry the text presented is like your average editorial , i believe this was portrayed to show that the actual design was more important than the text at hand. The text was presented at the back of the magazine available for the people who wanted to read it.
John weber, flyer 1984 This is a russian constrivism piece its created in a deconstructionist way as the text and image isn't in any order and doesn't follow a function.
This is the album cover for The Sex Pistol’s 1977 hit single “God Save the Queen”. Designed by British artist Jaime Reid, this cover comes to symbolize the punk movement of late 1970’s. This image has been created to show offence this album cover helped form the punk aesthetic. The form of the image has been broken up with ranson cut outs over the queens face. I loved Jamie Rieds work and the punk era movement.
MODERNIST
'The cultural energy of the modern movement is still burning, fuelling intellects against shallow trends, transitory values, superficial titillations brought forward by the media, whose very existence depends on ephemera.Many of the current modes are created, supported, and discarded by the very media that generates that change and documents to survive. It is a vicious circle.It has always been, only now it is bigger than ever'

I love this New orders Blue Monday record sleeve that recreates a floppy disc. Is so simple, This sleeve represents form over function. The downfall of this was the high production costs involved in making the sleeve meant the factory lost 2p every single sold. It made it worse that the New orders blue monday sleeve became the biggest selling 12" in history.
This swiss modernist style poster created by Mike Joyce a NYC designer , redoing flyers for classic hardcore punk indie shows. Angular layouts and grids. I love this poster and the geometric style of the numbers layer on top of one and other i do believe this poster follows form over function.
These posters are similar posters to the image above they feature swiss graphic design and typography, I really like them as they use geometric shapes.They represent modernist graphic design to me.
Bauhaus is the beginning of the modernism. Modernism features simple layouts with bold image text or geometric shapes i believe this poster is a perfect example , And portrays modernist graphic design.
Project Thirty-Three is a collection of vinyl & vintage record covers. I think they are a prime example of form over function, there very modern in the sense of the monochrome colours and geometric shapes they use. I love geometric shapes and find these records to be aesthetically pleasing.
