Jamie Reid - Never Mind the Bollocks - 1977

This is the cover for 'Never mind the bollocks' by the sex pistols. I think this could be considered post modern because of the evident anti-aesthetic, anti-technique and critique on the modern world.
James Rosenquist - Marilyn Monroe - 1962

This is a piece by James Rosenquist from the Pop art era. I really like his work, and although not strictly graphic design it has a very graphically based aesthetic and makes use frequently of recognised graphics. Pop art was a post modernist movement as it made fun of art society and used a retro aesthetic.
Scher, P - 'Swatch Watch USA' - 1984 and Herbert Matter's original.

This is an advert for swatch watches that show some very clear post modernist qualities. The main one being the direct imitation of Herbert Matters original poster and almost exact same composition. With the belief that everything has already been done, so why not just copy...
Raoul Hausmann - ABCD - 1923

Another piece showing postmodernisms trademark anti-aesthetic and attempt at showing poor technique on purpose.
Stefan Sagemeister - 'Hurry'

Another example of a piece showing a strong anti-aesthetic and anti technique. It is clearly a piece that goes against defined conventions of design.
