Post modernism is in a way a movement which we place within
the time period of 1975 – 1990. The term
was initially used to describe designs within architecture that differed from
the ready established code. This period within art history focused on a vast
array of artistic fields from architecture, fashion, graphic design, furniture.
They had an interest in ornamentation, symbolism and visual wit.
Some of the influential designers of this period are
wolfgang weingart (influenced by the geometry of triangles he then led on to
influence multiple different designers), the next designer was April Greiman
who was weingarts student, she is probably the best known femal graphic
designer in design history
Other postmodern designers would distory swiss conventions
differently for example combining formal grid systems with split type.
