This is a special issue magazine featuring three articles on Modernism and Postmodernism by Katherine McCoy, Massimo Vignelli, and Jeffery Keedy. Bringing back the characteristics of old magazines, this edition includes stickers of Modernist and Postmodernist art to place on every page. The choice of sticker and its placement is entirely up to the reader, as an interactive response to the question:
Is the line between Modernism and Postmodernism in Graphic Design really that clear?
Printed as a double-feature magazine, the covers are left intentionally blank for the reader to decide which side to open first. One side starts with Vignellis' Modernist text, and the other side begins with Keedy's Postmodernist writing. The red outlined rectangles indicate where the stickers go.
