David Carson

In today's lesson we looked at the David Carson and how he influenced the cover designs of music magazines. He is an American Graphic Designer and is most commonly known for his innovative magazine designs. He became art director of Ray Gun.

I believe although his designs are extremely creative and unusual, they are too different that of conventional magazines to work successfully. The designs are aesthetically pleasing however do not convey a particular house style therefore making it difficult to establish and maintain an audience.
