(Another concept)

This is a current assignment I'm working on. We have to create a "Zine" or an independant publication but my format is an A3 poster. I still have to work through the concept but basically, I'm putting up the argument that young graphic designers today (students) are visually illiterate, especially when it comes to typography and that we don't know how to design from context (we copy and misappropriate works we've seen without any knowledge of the designs context.) I'm pointing the finger at the "ugly" design that emerged from the 90's and mashing this together with the modernist movement of the 1920s to see what I get. Trying to create "structured ugliness" thats the idea anyway.
