David Carson

Today we looked at the typographer David Carson. He is an American graphic designer who is best known for his magazine (ray gun) designs and use of experimental typography. David was one of the most influential graphic designers of the 90's with his grunge style.

He used to be a teacher but then he started to experiment with graphic design and by the end of the 80's developed his signature style and soon got named the 'father of grunge'. He now lectures throughout America.


I like his work because its very unique and stands out a lot with the use of bold colours, I also really like his grunge style. The only thing I don't really like is the abstractness, but that's just because I don't really like abstract in general.
