i can't believe what i am reading! for any designer to say david carson is not "hot" is absolutely insane! he set the stage for people to look at typography as image. yes his methods cannot be applied everywhere but they were completely needed and necessary in graphic design history. thats fine if you don't personally connect to his i hate to say "style" but to flat out say you don't like what he has done is crazy.
if you are on of those people please feel free to donate your books to me. because i love him and he was one of the first to inspire me as a designer. flake or not.
and yea thats bullshit if he is an asshole in real life, but for a living graphic designer to become that famous i think anyone would let it go to their head a little. he probably ends up going surfing instead of going to lectures.
