Art styles Research - Post Modernism

Blog research on each of the style that you use. This will consist of:
1. List between 5 and 10 aspects of design that is associated with this
movement.
2. Focus must be on at least four designers/artists that belong to this era.
3. You must NOT copy and paste text, write your own content.
4. Include images.
5. Upload all your resource images and inspirations

Characteristics of "Pomo"
-Borrows concepts from a multitude of design movements and theories from outside design
-Contradictions (eg: Grunge & Clean styles in the same layout)
-High art and low art mixed together
-Combines old and new, good and bad. The lines between these things have been blurred.
-Mixed media
-Collage, photomontage, pastiche, desconstruction
-More a way of thinking than an actual style

MILTON GLASER
He was born 26th June 1929 in New York.

He always wanted to be an artist and in 1954 he founded "Push Pin Studio".

He rejected the ideals of international style and did his own thing. He used drawings in his designs, which had long since been forgotten about with the introduction of photography.

He describes his style as random as he has done such a wide variety of works.


1973 - New York City Tourism Campaign. This campaign still runs today.


1987 - World Health Organisation, International AIDs symbol and poster.
