cutting-edge graphic design

He was the enfant terrible of graphic design in the nineties. His tortured typography prompted a vocal camp of critics to accuse him of being flippant and of destroying the communicative basis of design. But now the techniques of David Carson (and those of his countless imitators) dominate advertising, design, the Web, and even motion pictures. Carson's cutting edge and explosive work spans from skateboard and surf books and magazines, to the landmark Beach Culture magazine, to his groundbreaking grid-breaking work for Ray Gun, and to handling major corporate identity accounts. In fact, the work of David Carson has been so high-profile that he's been termed "the most famous graphic designer in the world."
