modernist graphic design







Alexander Rodchenko
Linear Composition 1920

I feel this shows the modernist style as it is very similar to the communist circles and arrows crossing into each other. It is also very free in its design, the idea that you can be experimental as possible.

The hard lines and bold colours are very representational of the modernist style.

The straight lines of the buildings, the dark contrasts of the yellow and the black I feel represent the Russian modernist graphic design movement well. The spiraling typography is also very representational of modernist graphic design.

The use of the red typography in contrast to the grey dark background is also representational of modernist graphic design. The use of photo montage and the rectangular shapes along the bottom are also modern graphic design.

The red colours and the straight lines are very representational of modernist graphic design, also the use of circles and curves in the design.
