What Comes After Postmodernism?

What Comes After Postmodernism?

About the design

Submitted by polynothing on March 22, 2008

When I was attending grad school, I remember having to study post modern theory and thinking, how could all of these art historians and people in academia even bother to label something as "post-modern," or much less "modern." I always wondered what comes after postmodern? And then thinking that academia and art historians have somewhat crashed the car of history that they've been driving... The design is 3 colors, and on dark grey. From a distance, hopefully, it'll look like a mushroom cloud. Let me know what you guys think! Since I'm trying something relatively new, and non illustrative, I could use the feedback!?

the art work is great, and i totally agree with the point to this, but its really hard to read what it says on the shirt, i dont know if you meant for this?

tracerbullet

the answer is "futurism."

i've known this for years.

BaronVonMonkey

futurism came before postmodernism
think again,bullet!

Cool design, but i agree that the text could be cleared up a tad. I first read it as "what comes after Post modlers? SM"

rAmpantDesigns

Did I see this somewhere on the site already?

caughtxfire

you can always tell when the submitter has some kind of design or art history background by their disclosing comments on their submission, haha.

huge into art history, and definitely appreciate the concept. i don't know that i like the car resting so heavily on the hem of the shirt. maybe just bring it up a little?

the_jcw

post-post modernism. Kinda like homo homo sapiens.

Then we all die.

turbolucy

Beautiful colors but graphics are a bit confusing. Clean it up a bit and it will be sweeeet!

Sanguinity

I really like it (we get asked this question in creative writing - the answer? Us. No pressure.) but I agree with moving the car up a little from the hem of the shirt.

squatterjohn

I suppose anything or nothing, depending on your point of view.

eZ-kun

fmf

should I ditch the pink car?

J-Ray

post post modernism is actually a legitimate term.

gibbet

the admittance that we never really reached modern.

J-Ray

Post-postmodernism is a reaction to postmodernism, and signifies a return to many of the characteristics of modernism, while combining specific elements of postmodernism, including a level of binary schizophrenia, and a marked attempt at exclusion from the intended.

If it would glow like that on the shirt, it's a 5.
So I give you a 5.

After post modern comes general mills modern, followed by the way too abstract for a current human brain stylings of kellog's modern. Lots of white, milky colors and hues on everything.

BTW, this idea is quite cool and something i have wondered as well about.

brandon clark

Awesome T dude. Way different and cool! $5

Art history is sexy. $5.

effiji

Very much like the graphic style. Great work!

Lilyskip

i really adore the design, but i'm not crazy about the message. i almost wish there were no words on it.

wheskey

Awesome. Hand this man some money now please so we can start ordering.

outlander7

I think the writing is fine, it's the pink car I don't like. Otherwise I love the shirt.

didgeridoo.dude

I like this design, but if you're going for the mushroom cloud look I think that you need to make the top of the cloud about twice as wide.
