Postmodernism

Postmodernism is the after movement which took place after the modernist movement. Postmodernism takes the foundations of the cultural movements in modernism which is shown in various varieties, and pushed further through the development in technology available in the present post-modernist movement.  Evidence of this can be seen in various types of art available to us today such as inter media, installation art, conceptual art, and multi media. In the present day of postmodernism, some artists have become well known for their work in the various fields of art, one of which is Andy Warhol. Warhols work stretches across various art fields such as filmmaking, painting and filmmaking. Warhol is most famous for his stature in the visual art “movement” in postmodernism, Pop Art. Pop Art takes away an element of work away from the context that’s it is placed in and places it with other objects leading to a new meaning for that piece af artwork. Other artists work that are well known within the post modern era include the likes of Jerry Ross (Painter) Scott Reeder (American artist and filmmaker) Donald Baechler (painter and collager)

Foreign advertising

With the UK, the idea of foreign advertisement gradually came into play. Ideas from English advertisers were becoming repetitive resulting in companies going for outside the UK for fresh ideas in selling their products. The most successful types of advertisements coming from overseas were humorous ones, as the ideas are coming from a different culture.

 

 

Semiotics.

Semiotics is the study of  sign processes, communications and symbols.  In the case of design, it can be seen as a way of communication to people by exploration of different types of media. By studying semiotics, this could result in a more successful advertisement.
