“the most influential graphic designer of out time” surfrider foundation, july 09,
he is said to have “the most important work coming out of america” american center for design
and to have “changed the public face of graphic design” – newsweek.
Incredibly famous article Carson used in his famous magazine Ray Gun. He claims the interview was so boring and no one would ever read it, so he changed the entire article into windings a symbol based typeface, which rendered the article un-readable.

I like this extract from the article about David Carson:
ReplyDelete"...His expressive raw use of photography full of texture, colour, vibrance and excitement is masterfully balanced against cool, soft focused images creating visually rich contrast within the design is seductive to the viewer without overcomplicating the design."
This definitely sums him up so know wonder he became famous. His unprecedented postmodern approach to the Ray Gun magazine must have been refreshing for an audience to see - to go against the grain!
