Creative Differences: Order and Chaos

Graphic Design, due to the modernism movement, had set philosophy and formations set to it. Modernism was created to reject the past and think to the future however the clean cut edges and order soon became stale with Helvetica conquering the graphic design community and becoming the marketing standard. This made people soon weary of the clean cut edges that were embraced due to circumstantial idealism of the previous generations. This mindset was soon becoming outdated and the postmodernism idea of change joined with political tension arose a new era of design. It was time to create new ideas. Throw the formulas and structure away and create a new era of postmodernism chaos.

Design isn't just about ideas as much as it is about cynical-isms and social and political statements. It's a delivery method for sending a message and without modernism there would be nothing to counter. Illegibility forces the viewer to look more closely at the work they are shown and less passively.
