Class Reading Recap

Jeffrey Keedy’s Graphic Design in the Postmodern Era is a worthwhile, enlightening read that perhaps bestows upon the reader more insight into the world of graphic design than most college level courses. Keedy’s 1998 article discusses the state of the artists—both in modernism and post—the work being done, the history, and the public reaction to the work. He dives into his personal experiences in the business, and even comments on his own awesomely designed typography, Keedy Sans (pictured).

It’s a read that goes beneath the pencil and draft paper— or perhaps better said for these times, below the Photoshop canvas. Check out the text at Émigré Essays.
