I'm currently working with David Carson to launch a new print magazine.
Looking to create a basic web site where users can see an "about" page, subscribe to the magazine, and sign up to a MailChimp mailing list.
Email price quote or for more information. Carson has created some basic design elements, but looking for someone to add their own input and not just code.

Ah right yeah, good idea this, coming on here to ask.

It's not really a "job board" type posting, is it?
- Orbit0
No no not at all, not at all. Its the right kind of place for a high profile figure from the design industry to ask for help working out how to do a simple three function webpage.

serious? Are we talking about the same David Carson?
- zooropa0
Well, I've gone through two designers already. The coding bit was fine, but the site looked crap.
David himself is more of a print guy, not a web designer.

As writer Douglas Coupland says in Carson's most recent book, Trek, "once something is declared over is exactly the moment it springs back to life."

Her meant to say "Print is read", I'm convinced of it.
Hey Zooropa, David Carson, in 1993 (or 1994, can't remember) was in London. Mr Carson walked past Central Saint Martins Art School on Long Acre, London, looked through the window, saw some type sample posters on the wall, went in and asked Phil Baines (typographer, tutor) to tell the creator of those posters to get in touch with him.
The creator of those posters then got in touch via the phone number of the hotel that was supplied via Phil Baines. The receptionist put the creator of the posters through to the room and and David Carson picked up, listened to the caller's reason for calling, then said, "oh yeah, thanks for getting in touch, those are nice posters".
The creator of those posters then felt very awkward, asked if there was anything else, to which David Carson replied "ah.... no, no that was all". and the creator of the posters duly hung up, somewhat confused.
Please tell him I still have the posters if he wants them.

- Her = He. Spelling error.Orbit
- i can never tell with you.
this usually means that's it's all bollocks eh.bigtrick - Its a true stpry Biggus. It actually happened. It was my graduation show, in the college window.Orbit
- It made me momentarily seem like some red hot stuff amongst my peers for a few hours.Orbit
- Until I reported on the nature of the conversation. After that we just concluded Mr Carson possibly likes a toke.Orbit
- Hours later, the Spraymount gave way and the posters peeled off their mounts, bringing shame on the college.Orbit
