OUGD406 (Studio Brief 3) Designer research

I have decided to look further into minimalist graphic design, before I start to develop ideas for my own alternative movie poster. Moderninst designers such as Neville Brody and Mike Joyce are good examples to use as their clean cut and minimal designs are effective yet simple. 
Modernist graphic design is the cutting edge, new and original style of design. This is the attempt to find new and hidden meanings in the human experience and is communicated to the audience in a clean, straight forward, compositional format. 

Modernism is a term used in the aftermath of the 1st world war and the Russian Revolution in a period where the artistic avant-grade dreamed of a new world free from conflict, greed and social inequality. The term modernism was used in graphic design itself since around 1925-1930, as once economic conditions improved designer had to reassess their work, adapting it to a mass market and sometimes  even to the demands of fascism. Initially before this time modernism was was only largely experimental but then moved from the sketch board to the real world. Modernism has survived for all this time and still remains a powerful force of the design world of today. (Designing a new world V&A: 1

Mike Joyce:

These minimalist posters are inspiring, I would like to turn my designs intro something very simple but still making a statement. Because the brief requires to screen print with only two colours plus stock, this limits the design choices as the poster can not be too detailed as there are only three colours available for use. This will make designing a minimalist poster easier.
