5 Examples of De-constructionism

The Guggenheim museum which is in Spain is a very good example of what you would expect De-Constructivism to be like, the way that the building is being formed shows a fine way of what you like to see from the different styles of this line of work.

This is the building is known as the Imperial War Museum North, its in Manchester and is created from a range of numerous shapes and volumes of structures. The way that the building also leans gives it a more diverse range to what you are looking for.

You can then go onto describe the meaning of deconstructionism through the means of typography and what else you want to decide when it comes down to that style of working, a main guy for this style would be David Carson

This is the Sage building in Newcastle, Gateshead. This building is a prime example of deconstructionism within the world, the best way to look at this would be to show the natural curves that the building has been sculpted with.

This is the final design for the deconstructionism work and images, this was created for the ray gun work, his work has a very nice way to show how type can be changed or manipulated to destroy the types natural standard. However all the type is still readable and legible. This is what makes the process of his work so successful.

Typography's Role within Communication and De-Construction

French Currents of the letter  -  1978

The work above is a research journal which totally uses the De-Constructivism within graphic design. The book title is "French Currents of the letter" however this is not clear to read as each of the words deconstruct themselves as you go down the page, this happens with a subtle change in the kerning with the words, also the columns have been miss guided and fragmented. These then space out down the page making the spacing spontaneous and do not sit to the grid system which you would normally find within the front cover of a graphic design journal. You can also see some text to the left mid section of the image on the black strip, this tells you that its a "Research Journal" this is just readable... yet this section delivers no more information than that as the text below is to hard to read due to being printed that way.

The front cover fights against what you would normally like to find when you look at work of this standard, however due to this i think it works rather well and has a strong input in the De-constructivism ways of working. The image feels almost overwhelming as there is no structure and form through-out, the black lines which are there to block out areas of the image and make the outcome appear to be a different shape then throw you off more then usual. The small dots which are placed through-out the design which look a little like the letter C without as much curve and the ends cut short then give you a knowledge of how much the kerning has actually changed.

Overall i think this fits well with the De-constructivism era, all of the aspects all link together and make this into a design which can really impact on what you think about that time frame. There is text in places which you wouldn't expect and spacings in places you would not place them yourself. This makes it a successful piece of De-constructivism Graphic Design.

5 examples of Post Modern design

This is a piece of installation artwork created by Michael Duchamp, this is a very well known piece of post modern design, which contradicts with the artwork created in them days.

This is created from an artist known as Rachel Whitread and she named this design "Embankment" this is a large scale installation and this gathers rather alot of attention when it was finally created. This has a clean outlook and i think that it works rather well to compel against the typical standard.

There are other styles of post modern art work and these can all come down to Interactive Artwork and then this forces the general public to interact with the design and this lets you use these to the best of the environment and also the free public space around.

This work from Jackson Pollock No.5, these are images of work which have a very simple yet conceptual design towards them. The way in which i think this has worked is because it was classified as post modern design. They are pleasing to look at in real life but i think they lose alot of there impact when on a screen as they become two dimensional.

Roy Lichtenstein created this Pop Art style work which is very well known and has a massive hit when it comes to the comic book style of creating art. He has created many other styles of work which work along the same lines as this but i think that the understanding of what he wanted to deliver within this could have a sub category factor which allows you to link childhood with art.
