Postmodernism is something that I feel can easily be misunderstood as just a technique to be off the wall and different. Somone can look at Jackson Pollocks splatter paintings and think "Wow he has no talent, he just threw paint on a canvas and called it art". What I feel is wrong with this kind of thinking is how are we, as interactive designers, supposed to advance and make something great if all we have are set rules burned into our brains on what is correct. Our form of media that we will be working with is largely on the internet, which is growing and changing at an enormous rate, so our thinking and planning as designers should also change and grow with it.
This idea ties in well with "The medium is the message" which was said by Marshall McLuhan. This bassicaly means the medium and your message should work together seamlessly. The internet provides a wealth of resources to use and implement so as designers we should keep this quote in mind to make sure we wisely choose the best tools at hand to help our message come across best when working with clients.
