How did Postmodernism impact on Graphic Design? - What is Postmodernism?
'In the postmodern world, people are no longer convinced that knowledge is inherently good. In eschewing the Enlightenment of inevitable progress, postmodernism replaces optimism of the last century with a gnawing pessimism. Gone is the belief that every day, in every way, we are getting better and better...the continued existence of human kind is dependant on a new attitude of cooperation rather than conquest.' (Grenz, S J 1996:7)
The author is saying that Postmodernism is a new way of life and people are more accepting of others; wether they are smart or not; whether they have good jobs are not. Postmodernism is about accepting everyone for the way they are and not judging people purely on what they do or their intelligence. We are evolving everyday, getting better and better through time. People should be more caring and accepting of others, not try and be better than them or showing off if you are better off than them. Postmodernism is a positive change and it should continue to be rather than trying to compete with others.
