Introduction to Postmodernism

As we are about to sit our A2 level Media exam we have started to learn the content, Postmodernism. Before I share my notes made in class about postmodern album covers and what we have learnt and discussed in class, I have additionally researched online for different definitions of the Postmodern movement.
Follow the links below to the websites which I have found most useful and interesting whilst researching:
