Typesetting

When looking at typesetting there is many things to consider. You can create a modernist design by using grids, margins and columns. You would think carefully about type size and alinement. You would not want to create orphans, widows and rivers and the purpose is to make the text easy to read.
However postmodernist design goes against the rules of modernist typesetting. The text does not need to be legible, the text is used to express a feeling or story.

I looked at typesetting The Mouse's Tale by Lewis Carroll. My modernist design follows the rules od modernism and is easy to read as a story. Where as my postmodernist design is shaped to look like a mouses tail and is more fun rather than legible as a story.
