David Carson


David Carson was born in Corpus, Texas on September 8, 1952. He went to “San Diego State University” along with “Oregon College of Commercial Art”. Later in 1983, David travelled to Switzerland where he was working towards a “Bachelor of Arts in Sociology”, where he joined a three-week workplace in graphic design as a section of his degree course. While he was undertaking this degree he was greatly inspired by a teacher of his course who is named “Hans-Rudolf”. “He became renowned for his inventive graphics in the 1990s. Having worked as a sociology teacher and professional surfer in the late 1970s, he art directed various music, skateboarding, and surfing magazines through the 1980s”www.enotes.com/topic/David_Carson_%28graphic_designer%29  He presented layouts that were alterations or mixtures of “vernacular” typefaces and shattered images, that were making them nearly impossible to read. By the Graphic Design USA magazine David was titled as one of the best five greatest inspiring designers recently. He then began to start designing in the 1980s without no strict teaching or schooling, ever since then he has heavily concentrated on typography and photography. He Later then started “Ray Gun Magazine”, which is a “lifestyle and music magazine”, then continued on to begin to create his own design form, “David Carson Design” in order to promote himself more to the public.” .“He continues to be active in the surfing community. Clients include Quicksilver, Suicide Girls, Samsung, Adidas, Nine Inch Nails, Pepsi, and Toyota”. http://www.arsgrafik.com/david-carson/. Moreover David Carson has a very unique special technique, when it comes to his typographical dealings, as they are always excellent, because of the way he mixes photography to generate a minimum, low-fi look. His hectic designing has been seen best through his works.
