Isn't all design based on a particular design philosophy?
E.g. (Swiss, Bauhaus, Victorian, Abstract expressionism, Baroque, Impressionism, Surrealism, etc..)There are countless philosophies for guiding design as the design values and its accompanying aspects within modern design vary, both between different schools of thought and among practicing designers.[1] Design philosophies are usually for determining design goals. A design goal may range from solving the least significant individual problem of the smallest element to the most holistic influential utopian goals. Design goals are usually for guiding design. However, conflicts over immediate and minor goals may lead to questioning the purpose of design, perhaps to set better long term or ultimate goals.
- Thank you utopian. This is what I'm trying to get at, but couldn't put it into words.vnmbr

it also depends on what country you are from... the very concept of how design can be used has changed in the last 10 years. In the USA...it is more widely accepted as a vital tool for communication (selling the Man's goods)

Art History 101
For those who have not been fortunate enough to an art history course, this may help give you some insight...

I agree with canuck, it takes time to label a period, especially now. The last few movements I believe were numerous in a limited time-span. I mean the Bauhaus era... Then with the Abstract Expressionists, Dada, Fauvism, Pop, those weren't too far apart when compared to the Pre-Industrial Revolution age. I think the new movement will incorporate technology, obviously... How about if art just Died though? Who was the last person to have a great original impact on a huge scale, Pollack, Warhol... I don't even know, they haven't written the book yet...

if you consider the original Bauhaus/ Swiss style era modernism and the deconstructionist/ 80s/ 90s David Carson era postmodernism, then we are...postpostmodernism? Neomodernism?

its hard to classify the current state of design especially because nowadays most artist take inspiration from all other genres of past design. I don't believe there is anyway for anyone to make a clean classification for the time we are in at this moment, just take a look at all the portfolios within each profile on QBN and you will see a mixture of styles and genres not to mention the abundance of media to go along with the work.
Any-who I'm sure we will be classified in time with the emergence of the web in some way or another.

I think there is a big fusion of previously established movements/ schools of design, adapted to newer channels of communication.
A few designers try to as true to a specific style and "some" of those are the ones that stand out, because the uniformity of their work makes it easier for people to recognize it.
But even in this case, (I think) there needs to be that contemporary feel to the piece, otherwise the project will get associated with a previous era, and that might be intentional with a few specific projects, but if that is not the case, it could confuse the message.

Movement is interesting, I know de kooning, pollack, gorky, rauschenberg, koons, duchamp, johns, etc. hung out and challenged each other.... Warhol, Basquiat, Haring, probably the same... So I live in Manhattan near Chelsea, maybe I'm not getting out enough b/c of work but I never see artists around really... Williamsburg has a lot of people that look like artists... They "look the part," but I'm not sure how similar these times are to the past when it comes to creating a larger movement. But then again there are a few collectives out there. I haven't been to anyones studio lately, maybe thats more to do w/ rent issues in nyc. I think people wanting to become famous is much more so the case today in general... and thats it.
