Modernist graphic design
Modernism has always been an inspiration to me. Read about it in DN (in Norwegian). "In a visually chaotic world, modernism attempt to achieve clarity in everything that is being communicated. To weed out the decorations, to systematize the message to make it clearly and effectively. Modernism is an ideology, more than a style"

A trip to San Francisco reminds Jessica Helfand that design can mean something very different in technology companies than it did for “classically trained graphic designers of a certain generation,” i.e. her and Michael Bierut. “Culturally, what has shifted is that they work in teams and they don't have the same kind of understanding of one person making one thing at one time.” Listen!
