I'm working with David now and from what I've experienced he's a really nice guy.

in regards to the original question this thread posed... yeah, he's definitely a sexy man.

i've heard the same story regarding j. m. brockmann and students from basel.
i think carson did enough of his own thing, and deserves props. and yeah, he's full of himself, but so are most famous musicians and actors and i still appreciate music and movies... welcome to celebrity.

His redesign of Marshal Macluhan's "The Meduim is the Massage" is nothing short of the bomb-diggity.

i have trek... its a great volume.
his work was groundbreaking at the time, but it seems like he's trying to ride the wave out. i haven't seen any of his stuff lately that makes my jaw drop.
regardless if he's good or not, regardless of how he was trained or figured out his style, he doesn't need to be so pompous about his shit - acting like his work should become the new paradigm.

Seems like a silly conversation. People have 'blah blah blahed' for 5 pages. Seems that would mean he's done something right.

lol @ carson advancing typography to a level that hasn't been reached since, if by advancing typography to a level that it cannot be read, then yes, he did.

I like his work and his attitude as to how the work is created. In that HE basically said fuck you to the graphic design community and does what he feels is right with regards to so-called rules and conventions.
He broke all the rules that were set in place by designers before him i.e the graphic design community. And that's why his work stands out from the crowd.
People on here who write him off clearly haven't got a clue (i'd also throw some envy in there as well!).

The Karim Rashid of graphic design.
That's not a good thing, but it's better than being nobody like most of us.
- he doesn't have cool glasses like Karim. Karim is a good speaker and did show up to the lecture I went to for what it's worth.myshoeshurt
