Art Chantry
One of the most famous designers of the post modern movement, who pioneered the use of mistakes, misprints, "low" visual culture and found imagery in graphic design. There is no evidence in his work of the modernist design principles such as grids, purism and function over form.

Aalejandro Diazs

Although his work favours the principles of modernist design, through use of grids, exploration of modernist type etc, because he is a contemporary designer, his work is influenced by these instead of him pioneering them, meaning that he is really referencing the design style, which is a trait of post modern design.
