David Carson

David Carson was born on September 8th 1954 and is an American graphic designer. He is known for his typography and innovative magazine designs.

His rules for design are always broken in his work, he would let the typed lines run into each other, be upside down and many more things you wouldn't normally see like he would make the type and image so indistinguishable on the page.

David Carson has never believed that you must know the rules to be able to break them.
He is not afraid to use blurred images, and he also uses a lot of bright colour and emotion in his work. He has and eye for symmetry and likes using clean lines to make his work simplistic.

David likes to go crazy with typography and push it to the limits, his text sometimes has a handwritten quality, then other times a strict typewriter font.

I love David's work its so interesting to look at and try and work out what is going on. Sometimes you cant even understand it and that's why its great.

His work is both brilliant and crazy in his modernist style.
