Peter Saville, New Order - Blue Monday Vinyl Sleeve (1983).
Stripped down cover using geometric shapes and a focus on simplicity and clarity.
Joseph Muller-Brockman, (1958).
One of the pioneers of modernist graphic design. Again heavily structured and organized with a clear aesthetic quality by using san serif fonts and plain shapes. Removes any un-needed decoration. But you could argue do you need as many circles if that's your target?
Post-Modernism
The artist Jamie Reid is one of the more famous Post-Modernist designers and is known for his work with the sex pistols. A band which in it's very nature aimed to be anarchic. The design is controversial and rugged. It breaks most rules that the modernists tried to lay down as the law in design.
David Carson.
Not a massive fan of carson but he was most definitely post-modernist typographer. Limited use of grid. Uses serif fonts that have been cut into. Loose composition using photography. Modernist's would of hated it.
