David Carson has influenced graphic design through innovative typography and experimental design. It is through his use of technology that he creates expressive layouts while still maintaining the human emotional aspects of art. David Carson’s pieces are unique and memorable because he has included his own personal experiences and viewpoints in his design. His work displays a strong consideration towards the emotional response which a project may receive while he is also very aware of the details of his surroundings through an exploration of color, texture and other mediums of art. In his work he has taken typography, something which is often ignored, and elevated it into a piece of art which carries a powerful and emotional message. His use of typography greatly strengthens his conceptual ideas which reflect his awareness of art's global impact. His pieces reflect his awareness of the political, social and cultural setting in which his projects exist. One of his pieces which I found most interesting was The Book of Probes, in which he explores and interprets comments towards communication, media and information. His influence is also evident in his Grunge type which has been widely imitated.
For more information regarding David Carson, his work and his approach in design, his TED Talks segment is a helpful resource which is well worth watching.
