Carson: "Seems like there was Neville Brody, then I came along, then the next thing doesn't seem to have happend.....it will.......but I never thought it would be this big of a gap"

I think he was probably referring to popular reaction to their work, rather than the quality of it

i have nothing bad to say about that dude and what his approach brought to designer around the world, but man it seems more like an E! retrospective of milli vanilli than a useful sequence of information for designers today.

That line kinda stuck in my mind too.
Ego.
I do love his work though.
Meh.

What he is saying is that design now sucks. And suprisingly hes right. Fancy that.

i hate how all we're doing now is copying older styles.
the textbooks will look back on us 100 years from now and say we just ran out of revolutionary ideas

ok, fuck it...
that was my favorite part of the video.

The mistake in his thinking might be that he thinks the new revolution is going to be another aesthetic.

maybe the new ideas are no longer coming from Designers but ad agencies? like W+K and CP+B
- forcetwelve0
if you're looking up to corporate giant licking agencies like wk you've missed the point of what it is david carson is/was.
- pepe0
agencies are responsible for nothng more than washing down fresh ideas generally speaking.

"I think he's allowed to have an ego"
David Carson is not allowed to have an ego because all he did was rip a style off some kids who actually had a point to their work.

david carson is just another trend setter designer.
i'd rather be more respect and inspired to designers who work at apple or ideo or a good design firm like landor, meta design, pentagram, etc. coz they help a big pig corp a good design to their consummer and our society.

(Jul 7 05, 02:20)Isn't that what various other 'famous' design companies' do? - Stalk their prey at end-of-year shows, recruit students based on ther own profile, not what they can offer the employee, pay them peanuts and parasite off them, and the employee thinks he's in a winning position because they have the 'kudos' of working with the 'top-boys'?
Yes, you know who you are!
