David Carson is an American contemporary graphic designer, art director and surfer. He is best known for his innovative magazine design, and use of experimental typography (the theory and practice of letter and typeface design). He was the art director for the magazine Ray Gun, in which he employed much of the typographic and layout style for which he is known. In particular, his widely imitated aesthetic defined the so-called "grunge typography" era.
Would I attempt this design?
I think this design is very peculiar and unusual. However, I would attempt this deign when creating magazine cover because the style is very intriguing and catches the human eye. Most people I have spoken to have said that they prefer this style compared to styles such as Kerrang and billboard. The cutting-edge advertising, musical artists and pop culture icons spotlighted were typically ahead of the curve, putting such artists as Radiohead, Bjork, Beck, Flaming Lips, PJ Harvey and Eminem on its cover long before its better-known competitors.
