One of Designer that make books poster

DAVID CARSON

Audacious graphic designer from Southern California, best known in the surf world for his jarring but innovative 1991 redesign of Surfer magazine. Carson was born (1956) in Corpus Christi, Texas, began surfing after moving with his family in 1965 to Cocoa Beach, Florida. In 1973, four years after relocating to Rolling Hills, California, Carson was a top-rated competitor in the Western Surfing Association's prestigious AAAA division, and in 1976 he appeared in the surf film Playgrounds in Paradise. He was invited to the Smirnoff Pro-Am surf contest in the early '70s, and for a time Infinity Surfboards sold a "David Carson" model board. Carson earned a B.A. in sociology from San Diego State University in 1977; in the early '80s he enrolled in a series of graphic design workshops.

Carson then became the art director for a series of magazines, including TransWorld Skateboarding (1983–87), Musician (1988), Beach Culture (1989–91), Surfer (1991–92), and Ray Gun (1992). By the time he arrived at Surfer his dark-palette, industrial meltdown style—featuring compressed text; mismatched font size; chopped, scratched, cut, and mixed type; and radically cropped photos—was fully developed. Some Surfer readers liked Carson's redesign right off the bat, but a majority felt, as one Pasadena subscriber put it, that the new look was "jumbled, ugly, chaotic and hard to read."

Carson has been nominated for inclusion into the East Coast Surfing Hall of Fame in 2014. That year he will also receive the American Institute of Graphic Arts Gold Medal for Contribution to the Field of Design.

David Carson Poster

A poster for a lecture held by Graphic Designer, creator of 'Ray Gun' magazine, and leader of the deconstruction movement- David Carson (held in the year 2000).

Quicksilver poster by David Carson

"contemporary ode" to the deconstructivist style of David Carson - a far more subtle approach that the work as seen by Carson (particularly throughout 'Ray Gun')- but a refreshing example of how deconstruction in graphic design can work "for the masses" in a more legible and readable layout and format structure.

Books by David Carson

Carson and his work have been the subject of a handful of books: The End of Print: The Graphic Design of David Carson (1996), David Carson, 2nd Sight: Grafik Design after the End of Print (1997), and Fotograficks: David Carson (1999). Carson designed the Laguna Art Museum-commisioned Surf Culture: The Art History of Surfing, was published in 2002. Carson put together a compilation of his own work, Trek in 2003. "Design and Discovery," Carson's 2003 TED Talk, has been viewed nearly a half-million times.

Teenager’s problem to read the books

When scaling throughout the sizeable globe we could easily come to a conclusion that people in this modernized era are encountering vast number of problems. The problem I would like to emphasize about is something that will definitely leave a negative impact towards oneself and the country when the individual failed to notice its growth and development in their own body. Perhaps it would even be the downfall of a country’s economical level especially when it comes to competing with another nation or even globally. Yes, I am indeed talking about the lack of reading culture in our youths. For some this is not even a problem as it is just another trifling matter that they come across in their daily life yet they fail to notice that education is the single most essential factor in shaping the nation tomorrow as the saying goes education is the key to success. Furthermore, the educational level also reflects the image of a country to the neighbouring country as well. Ironically, teenagers nowadays do not seem to be paying a closer attention toward their academic level as a result of lack of reading culture. So, this raises a curiosity on what are the factors that propels them in cultivating this bad culture which will only tarnish their own image. The dominant factor which contributes towards this rampant problem would definitely be the negative influence of the friends.
