Punk

Punk

In the 60’s there was a lot of changes in a lot of things like the rise of divorce, the increase of pregnancies in teenage. Rock music, in the 70’s had developed into a mature industry with multinational companies. Rock music was more like a commercial profit than a rebellion like the 50’s and 60’s. England in the 70’s was a very bad time because of high unemployment, General feeling of disillusionment, sense of boredom, no hope for the future attitude and rebellion through sarcasm and cynicism.

Punk started in the 70’s in England and the USA. It affected everything from music to fashion. This movement occurred right before digital typography. Members had an aggressive visual of appearance.

Janie Reid:

Jamie Reid was born in 1947 and grew up in London. In the late 1960’s, he met fellow student and future sex pistols manager Malcolm Mc Laren. Mc Laren asked Jamie Reid to design posters, T-shirts and adverts for the sex pistols. He used collage techniques, Random unusual typography, use of Letterset, Day glow links and highlighter pens and anarchic graphic design was created.

The fanzies anarchistic qualities are similar to Dada however the home made quality of the posters made it different while Dada remained artistic, Punk was not.

I think that punk of today is like normal not as shocking as it was in the 70’s.
