Punk

The punk movement showed up in the 70's till the late 80's and basically this was a movement that bunch of people were disguised by what we call mainstream and they decide to rebel about it by doing something controversial. During this era a very popular band named Sex pistols was on the rise and they were all punks . The sex pistols only lasted two and a half years. Punk movement also effected the way how one dresses and in graphic design collages were present a lot.


A modern punk rock design is that of the band Green day. 




Original poster - Sex Pistols 



The sex pistols have edited the queen in a way that the public took it as a disrespect. The poster that they did contains the british flag and the face of the queen in the middle. The sex pistols have edited with what looks like pieces of paper as if they are cut stating , "God Save the Queen" and "Sex Pistols" on her mouth.Doing something like this requires a lot of courage and the sex pistols wanted to show that they do not care about anything. At this point the society where literally loving them.


Image is shown below.


The typography as one can see is also done in a way that it breaks all type of mainstream stuff and as seen in the image there is multiple font types , boldness and thickness.
