David Carson is an American Graphic designer and typographer. He was the most influential graphic designer of the nineties. At the time, he was known for his "grunge typography". Carson is known also for his magazine design and experimental typography. I find him to be very talented and admirable considering he is basically a self-taught designer. His layouts in magazines featured distortions or mixes of vernacular typefaces and fractured imagery. He rendered them almost illegible, leaving it all up to the mind of the viewer. He just designed the cover of the Yale University Art Gallery. I really like his use of imagery with the distorted text. It brings his art a lot of character and use of imagination.
