David Carson



During my dissertation research, I stumbled across David Carson, a successful graphic designer who graduated with a degree in sociology, NOT design. He was also a former professional surfer, ranking #9 in the world during his college days.

A tribute to other self-taught designers, Carson broke most of the rules of design and typography, as you can somewhat 'illegibly' read 'legibility' above. He experimented with overlapping and distorted fonts and intermixed these with striking photographic images.
