David Carson

For my first research artist I chose David Carson, he is a famous graphic designer. Best known for his innovative magazine design, and use of experimental typography. 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. Carson was perhaps the most influential graphic designer of the 1990s. In particular, his widely imitated aesthetic defined the so-called "grunge typography" era.

I chose to copy this image because its simplicity drew me to it, the way in which it is able to be so simple and yet free and flowing at the same time, something that I will be interested in when creating my own logo.

This image is really eye catching as it contains a very clear and simple font but has a very nice complex hand rendered images and textures in the background. This type of design I would like to see featured within my logo when it comes to creation.
