Ive done an essay and a 15 min presentaiuon on my hero carson at uni last year.I also wrote a paper on postmodernism too.I like his work because its governed totally by feel and he doesnt care about the people who dont like what he creates.Like surfing.its a total expression,i was drawn to his work because of the work hes done for surf brands like quiksilver also bein a surfer.i like how he is different and does what he likes. and designs with feel..its all about feel...i think...
I don't quite understand why it should be important for the designer or even the audience what someone makes out of the text. Why does Carson think it's the designers job to interpret copy and impose this personal opinion onto the audience? Breaking the grid is one thing, breaking it because you don't know how to use it is different.
So, making a text illegible because I think it's boring and not worth reading helps the message (of the text) to come across? I don't understand how that works. What if there is a reader who disagrees and in fact finds the text interesting but can't read it because you decided for him that he shouldn't?
To answer your question: The grid comes from the attempt to structure information in a way that makes it accessible to a broad audience. Following it means to respect your audience.
The grid is a fantastic tool that enables you to create accurate structure to a designers work. The ability to learn the grid enables you to break the rules with intent and reason. Carson is very talented as he has picked up allot of this on his own. In regards to Helvetica, this typeface is fantastic, it may look boring but it is used everywhere, almost anywhere you look outsite, street signs, directions etc etc Helvetica is used.
The grid come from the human eye's tendency to follow lines. It is the most rational and immediate form of textual communication. To derive from it is to confuse the message. What is communicated by five fragmented unrelated letters is a confused message. Could mean anything and nothing. Great art, but not design.
Hey man Im also doing a project on carson for my degree was wondering if you could help me find some info cos im battling with info!!!! Cant really find much on his life story and how he developed through the years. Thx bud
love him or hate him, you must admit that dCarson is a very influential, creative and inspiring grafik designer. what he did with editorial design broke so many "design rules" but now it is the basis for page layout and exprimenting design as an artform rather than a science. kudos to dave.
It was shot for Hillman Curtis .com. It is a website that has many profiles on various designers. all the interviews are done in a similar fashion.

text was born from design. text is the interpretation of design. as we grow we will need less words, less text, less, less, less

Where did the grid come from and why must anyone follow it.
Visual appeal gets interest, and ends up with your message coming across much better than a plain old Helvetica font on a white background.
Whats more memorable?
