    When I was in design school Carson was the major influence. Every student wanted to copy his style, and one of my professors was even bitter because he thought he had come up with a lot of the original ideas which Carson cashed in on (he was part of the Cal Arts scene).

    Ten years later, his work is out of style and looks horrible to our eyes. Simplicity and clarity rule the day. Not surprising really but it shows you how cyclical the whole thing is.
