David Carson was recently named one of the top five most influential designers by Graphic Designer USA magazine. His work can be considered post-modern, and he largely influenced the dirty-grunge movement in design trends of the 90s. Caron started designing in the 80s with no formal schooling in the field and has since focused heavily on typography and photography. His work became well-known in the late 80s and early 90s through skateboarding and surfing magazines. Later, he started Ray Gun Magazine, a lifestyle and music magazine, and went on to start his own design firm, David Carson Design. Carson has written and co-authored a handful of books characterizing design trends. He continues to be active in the surfing community. Clients include Quiksilver, Suicide Girls, Samsung, Adidas, Nine Inch Nails, Pepsi and Toyota. David Carson’s designed aesthetic is best seen through his works. His typographical treatments are first rate, and he integrates photography to produce a minimal, low-fi look. In his recent work, David Carson has branched out into television and video as well, producing commercials, documentaries, short films, and more.
Just like David Carson, we all can become Graphic Designers some day. The artist in us is coming out. I can see from the results of the work posted so far.
Great Tara... Graphic Design is a field were we are judged by the quality of our work and less by the credentials we hold...
