David Carson (born September 8, 1954) 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 style for which he is known. In particular, his widely imitated aesthetic defined the so-called "grunge typography" era.David also has a very famous piece of work using pepsi as a way to present text in a modern way I had a go at recreating his work in photo shop using a modern pepsi cup I thought this worked well it also ties into my work as Carson is also known for the way he uses text from newspapers I have created many types like this my self in my sketch book and in my second sheet.
