5 Post Modernist Designs.

Definition:
Post-modernism is a combination of both high cultrure and lower culture and combines a range of different styles and approaches to then create its own unique style. This unique style is ofton disregarded as most post moderist artists refuses to recognise any single style or definition of what art should be.

Reid, J (1977) Sex Pistols 'Never Mind The Bollocks', LP cover, http://www.virginmedia.com/images/sex_pistols-gal-covers.jpg

The above is a very good example of post-modernism as it clearly doesn't rely on colour theory and combines low and high culture within its design. This can be seen as the "Sex Pistols" title is written in what looks like newspaper print whereas the above text is written in a nice serif font.

Barbara Kruger - You are not yourself.

This is a image which combines pre existing materials such as newspaper cuttings and black and white photography. The image could show how someone of an upperclass living is looking into a mirror and isn't really seeing who she really is as she is ruled by the commodities of upper class items.

This image combines pre existing materials for example this is using the existing style of retro articles and the way they use type which is very against its usual stereotype. The image appears asif it will be praising a tea or telling of its upperclass taste and yet uses a lower-class tongue.

David Carson: Ray Gun Magazine

This is a image which shows a multiplicity of styles for example, photomontage and overlaying text. The style still feels new and adventurous as its hard to understand what is going on other than the parts which Carson wanted you to focus on, for example; ray gun title, image of himself and the information below.

Bansky 

I have decided to include this as a piece of post modernism design as it links to everything for example the collaboration of photography and spray paint along with the two styles of illegal graffiti or fine art. The piece takes both styles and creates a brand new one.
