The design was kitch, colourful, avant garde (not the typeface) & elaborate. The style of post modernism was sort of an early warning system for the lives we lead now. Jamie Pavitt; "there is much resonance with what we have experienced: collapse of the economy, crisis in avant garde & what it means to be progressive."
Does it (post Modernism) exist at all, and if so what does it mean? Is it a concept, practise,a matter of local style or a whole new period or economic phase? SO few people identify with post modernism positively because it is so easy for post modernism to look tacky. "I never understood why post modernism had to define itself in the negative""to not say what it aspires to be but rather what it is not"
