The “modern” design era gets its name from the artistic movement of modernism that began after World War I and continued for nearly a half-century.

This design avoids the normal grid display for artwork. The boxes in this design don’t interact the way we expect in a standard grid. A gorgeous example of 3D type brings whole new life to the floral trend. The best part about it is there’s no particular type that works best for this trend: bold, skinny, sans-serif, script, any font can be rendered in 3D. 3D typography especially feels just about ready to pop. Three dimensional works seems to be everywhere right now: entire compositions that have so much depth, you can’t help but reach out and touch them.
