David Carson is an American graphic Designer, art director and surfer. He is best known for his innovative magazine design, and use of experimental typography. He was the art director for the magazine Ray Gun , in which he employed much of the typographic and layout approach for which he is known. In particular, his widely imitated aesthetic defined the so-called 'grunge typography' era.
David Carson represented a break with the old in terms of the formal clarity of the Bauhaus he sought to refresh American design by breaking a few rules and embracing the new.
