Jada Morris Vis. Com. History

This is a design that came out near the postmodern era, instead of the current examples I have been researching lately. This design has more monotone colors, compared to the flashy bright colors we have been seeing in some of our other examples, although this design features many of the postmodernism characteristics including overlapping elements, unconventional typography, abstract elements, geometric forms, and textures. The only postmodern features that are lacking in this design are the tilted axis, as all of the text is straight on the composition, as well as the illustrations, manipulation of reality, and flashy colors. The main feature I see from the postmodern era in this work is the unconventional text since there are several different styles of type, widths, hierarchy, and colors. The text is overlapping each other a few times, which adds the abstract look to the design. This piece differs from the last example I saw on Behance drastically. The last example had very flashy co...

  This design was produced as a redesign for the Lollapalooza of Brasil in 2022 and compared to the original design, I can say I think this one catch more of the aesthetic of the event and draws the viewer in much more. The design contains several postmodern features including overlapping elements, illustrations, textures, flashy colors, manipulation of reality, abstract elements, geometric forms, a tilted axis and unconventional typography. There are two different designs shown, as one is the main cover design and there are serval other branding designs, the bottom design being one of them. Every one of the postmodern features is shown in the bottom design, while the first lacks a tilted axis. There is a lot of manipulation going on within the typography, but it is still legible text. The designers overlapped the text within the second design, where they also show the tilted axis within the circular text. There are several geometric elements in both designs, overlapping colors and...

  This design by David Carson, shows three main features of postmodernism within its composition, unconventional typography, manipulation of photos, and overlapping elements such as text and textures. The use of photos in Carson's design is very unique because it is the same photo in each section, but it is zoomed in/out each time. We see the eye a lot as there are two close ups towards the center of the composition, while the zoomed-out version is closer to the bottom and overlaps the one eye photo. Ray Gun was known to be a very disruptive magazine due to its rejection of typical art styles such as incorporating upside down pages, illegible text, and touchy subjects. This design meets the disruptive and chaotic look of Ray Gun magazine because of its overlapping elements, the text is very small and is somewhat illegible due to its font style against the dark textured background. The texture also adds an older look to this design, which gives a classical vibe when we see it now co...

  This work by Nadzirah on Behance portrays a Disney movie that came out in 2022, which shows several postmodern features. This "Turning Red" poster design doesn't have a tilted axis, since none of the elements are slanted, although the top of the poster shows an upside-down design instead. The creator took the original character designs by Disney and created her own composition that had influence from postmodernism. These features include overlapping elements, flashy colors, nontraditional and unconventional text, geomatic shapes, and a skewed reality. Even though this work does not include the common postmodern feature, a tilted axis, it presents the skewed version of reality, in the upside-down design at the top of the poster. The design shows several gematric shapes covering the middle of the animals/girls face, to show the opposite character inside. The text has a variety of scales and has a different color for each letter. The text isn't very legible to just rea...

Topic ideas (poster ideas): - remote work style (depression/loneliness, obesity, distractions, or flexibility) **lots of illustrated scribbles $$ - the human body (age doesn't define beauty, eating disorders, gender equality?) **illustrated arrows  - choices (abortion, masking & vaccination, schooling--college or trade) - Canadian wildfires (smoking, masking, home loss/desperation) **smoke texture $$ - health (scale--eating disorders, vaping--nicotine, covid) **smoke texture  - Parenting styles (gentle, neglecting, supportive)  - School/School stress (too-stressed, average, carefree) **texture could be similar to paper  $$=top choice

This design example is a much simpler take on postmodernism. It follows the key elements such as a tilted axis, overlapping, manipulation of photography and unconventional typography. This design portrays a tilted axis as the text is slanted all different directions in the top left corner, and even shows some overlapping text. "Broadway" seems to be in a white box, cutting off the tops and bottoms of each letter, making it seem very narrow compared to the other text. Even though the design used the same typography in this poster, you can see that he uses serval different scales and widths to portray the nontraditional aspect of postmodernism. The design by Huber is different than the last example we saw because this one is very simplistic compared to the busy abstract composition we saw form Chris Do. Flashy shapes, typography, and photos took over the design in the last example, whereas this design has one photo, which does show some manipulation withe its flashy pink colors...
