I loved this designer in the 90's. Looking upon his stuff now, it seems so dated. Probably because he was so imitated that it obliterated his work. This is what I'll probably say of Rex Ray's work in another decade.

It's like searching for easter eggs reading this book...and every time you open it, the eggs have been re-hidden. Love.

the book from the bad boy of typography himself. the out-of-the-design-box guru. the "king of non-communication." this book actually belongs to Abang Edwin - i'm just listing it here because it's one from a groundbreaking designer.

how broken type accepted.. graphic design in wider view

It was interesting to revisit this 25 years after I found myself living in Carson's design world

I'm a graphic designer In school I had to do a report on a designer and David Carson was the one I picked out of the hat. I never heard of him before the project.

self-proclaimed god.... don't understand why everyone gets a hardon over this guy...

El diseñador que más influyó en mi persona tiene un libro que no tienen números de pagina y eso es lo más Carson que puede haber.

lost it somewhere

In my past life I was a graphic and layout artist for magazines. All because I was puttering around a bookstore and my eye caught a weird magazine cover. The cover was by David Carson and the magazine was RAYGUN. It was the start of an obsession. I believe that Carson revolutionized how magazines are designed, although his critics disagree.

David Carson killed print so we can re-make it better.
