featured designer 07.06: David Carson

David Carson isn't so much an influence as he is a challenge. His work defies the obvious and trendy, branching off onto it's own level and raising the bar that much higher. Some designers think he's brilliant, others think he's over rated. I think he's one of the things this industry has needed in order for people to realize graphic design doesn't have to be "safe" and that the term "appropriate" doesn't have any boundaries.
