See, the thing about David Carson though is not that students mimicked him... In fact, he mimicked students, and that is where the beef comes from. Notice how his style hasn't changed one bit whilst everyone elses has? He doesn't have the ideas to back his style up, thats why...

Great. More bad kerning and unreadable blocks of copy written in dingbat font.

well.... I do have to give Carson some credit, he's managed to at least partly regrow his deadness, it's as if Bernie Madoff's scammed victims somehow forgot they'd been scammed and wanted to invest money with him all over again.... admiration for successful con artists is an odd thing though...
- I never invested money into Carson... maybe Raygun, but I wouldn't call it an 'investment'. Carson is a con artist? huh? psycho.SeriousFreelancing
- saying he has, uh, talent for something.... like making people think he's a designer...vaxorcist

ah, so David Carson is a con artist now? QBN is so strange sometimes.

It's funny how we are discussing just a god damned splash page, this EC should be up when the actual thing exists and if its worth a look.

back in university all my professors loved carson! they wanted us to be like little carsons, ignoring the rules, you know... so they figured, to make it short, not to teach us any rules in the first place. I am basically self-taught. Thank you Mr. Carson, thank you stupid old teachers running after a short-lived trend...
- Yup I also went to school during that era. People were confused:)abettertomorrow

Ego-wanker extraordinaire. That style was lame then and is lame now.

So are we not allowed to have opinions, especially negative ones?
That goes against the whole ethos of QBN.

what is the average page count for this mag?
- dbloc0
Did he just no have time to design his own website? Is he that busy, really? How will he ever have time to design the mag or is that going to be done by {ths} as well? I just don't get it.

Robert Rauschenberg did it better.
I'd have more respect for him, if he wasn't so glib about being ignorant about type and history, especially so many years after the peak of Raygun. He's a great marketer / ok artist / and incompetent designer. And.. I really was a fan at one point.

if Carson would put a little more effort into promoting this himself, I think it would work out better, or was the name and style just licensed and someone else is in charge?
- dbloc0
yes, I have a lot of questions. I'm just a bit confused about this whole thing. It smells a bit fishy.
