the only thing that carson did that had any influence was to provide a working model of how to hype oneself and let the ego do the talking rather than the work.
and as for his 'typography', herbert spencer (for example) was doing it in the 50s/60s when david was just a twinkle in his fathers eye.

have you seen his new stuff?

I say: there is something about its graphics, which I found interesting, intriguing even, but it doesn´t communicate, at least on a level accessible to everyone. His ilegible typography, I would insist that its more like art rather than functional type. Oh well, almost as if you wouldn´t be able to seat in a chair designed by him, if he was a furniture designer.

I still admire his desconstruction of type as an image pioneer process - i still have many of the redesigned surf mags and raygun issues. His books are not that impressive. the design community owes him a good "how's your father"
