Abstract

This text intends to show the importance of a postmodern visual attitude in graphic design, for it expands the number of new possible solutions. Design needs to get rid of the restrictive modernist belief that “less is more”, cultivating instead the idea that “the more, the better”, which aims at the development of creative and innovative alternatives, through a great many number of experiments with several of those visual postmodern characteristics listed here.
