North_2 could not be more right on about the Weingart comment. I had a teacher that studied under Weingart and she talked to me about how much Carson and April Greiman learned from him. After that it was pretty easy to follow the paper trail and see where their ideas came from. But in ym opinion Weingart still held true to the beauty of swiss modernism and carson went off on some destructive tangent- and while that had its positive points i just can' stand it anymore.
as far as the whole graphic design rockstart thing, i find it amusing. I just quit being in a band and we were doing quite well- i got somewhat tired of the whole "rock and roll" thing (especially cause i was in a hardcore punk band) and i see the same attitudes within the design scene- idolization of a few creative people and a million people staring at the same pieces of work and copying it until you exhaust the originality of the innovators.
