I'm not sure postmodernism has even had as great of an influence on graphic design the way it has other forms of art, since a lot of forms of GD are utilitarian. It's easy for an installation to be postmodern, but not so much a street sign. When I was in college it seemed like maybe it was - some of my professors were from the Cranbrook program and very much practicing that deconstructionist approach you would associate with people like David Carson - but once that trend passed graphic design kind of rejected the overkill of that approach and more or less returned to a modernist approach. Maybe it just shows the elements of these academic concepts to describe all of what is happening in art, design, etc.
