    Ive seen Carsons new book. Like some of it. Some pages stink like satans asshole, but some are brilliant. The thing about Carson it was never to tell the design community that this is the "style" or look of graphic design today. I feel hes here to say "what if?" remember grunge type? raygun? when his first book came out... have u seen anything liek it? hes here to stir some ideas, expand the idea that graphic design is more than just blue/orange combo that design is more than clarendon.. that design is more than scanning wood board and putting some cool person made out of vectors. I admire him for pushing graphic design.. something that is suppose to be so clear and communicate into a more muddy area such as fine art where everything is questioned and stripped down with more ideas questions and confrontations to be discovered.
