David Carson

Davis is a well-known American graphic designer, art director and surfer. He is best known for his innovative magazine design, and use of experimental typography

After researching and analysing the work of graphic designer, David Carson. His work is not like any others, the use of creativity & originality behind his artwork. This is due to him having a very creative edge to his work as his pieces are so original & unique. The way that on every single design of his magazine front covers are all individually different, the way that he incorporates text in his designs makes you think whether his work is intentional or even accidental. This is due to the layout and also the use of text and fonts which are combined for the finishing result of the magazine front cover.

 Throughout Carson's designing history, he basically shows his views that designs don't need to be spelt out word by word/ letter by letter.

This magazine front cover to my left is not like any other, the use of the black and white colour scheme is used throughout majority of his work- as you can see above in one of the other examples of his work. You can still identify that the cover on the left is a magazine as it includes a barcode in the bottom right corner. It also includes what will be in the magazine at the bottom, but it is rotated instead which is very different to any other magazine front cover. I like that he doesn't abide by the typical layout of a normal magazine front cover. He uses his own imagination to create a different and very distinctive piece of art.
