Synopsis

The End of Print is the first collection of the work of David Carson, arguably the most innovative and influential graphic designer of the 1990s. Carson's layered, challenging approach to typography has earned him an international reputation. At the cutting edge, he continually reinvents the relationship between design and type and has single-handedly changed the course of graphic design. A former professional surfer, sociology teacher and now art director of Ray Gun magazine, Carson has crystallized the look and attitude of an entire generation and leads a revolution in visual communication. In just a few years, he has acquired a cult following of young designers eager to break with tradition and forge a new aesthetic.
