OUGD404 - Study Task 08 - Typesetting

Task
To re-typeset Lewis Carroll's A Mouse's Tale using a postmodern approach and a modernist approach. 

Modernist and post-modernist approaches are completely different in graphic design. Modernists make informed design decisions to ensure that information is communicated as effectively as possible. Whilst, post-modernists are more concerned about breaking the rules and not what the words say, but how the words are saying it.


Modernist designers who use the International Typographic Style employ:
•  Grids, Margins & Columns•  Typefaces•  Type Alignment•  Type Size & Relationship•  Orphans, widows & rivers






Post-modernist designers, on the other hand, focus on:

•  Breaking the rules
•  Legibility
•  Expressionism
•  Concrete Poetry
