The image above is of a magazine cover made by Andy Warhol for Time magazine of Michael Jackson in 1984. I found this on Print magazine's website and found it kind of interesting. When I first saw it, it reminded me a bit of pop art. This cover was created right around when the Psychedelia style was ending, Postmodern was just beginning and Swiss is still popular too at this time. The cover does use some characteristics of all three, like the somewhat grid layout of the Swiss style. Also, there is a lot of different colors in here that don't necessarily go together that are very vibrant; this is a trait of Psychedelia style. The illustrated outlines that are a decorative element is a characteristic that would be seen in the Postmodern era. Overall the design is pretty clean and well decorated. The only thing that bothers me is the type that touches Michael Jackson's face, but magazines tend to do that a lot.
