Great design is a never-ending journey of discover - for which it helps to pack a healthy sense of humor. Carson believes the emotion is picked up in a design before they ever begin reading.
"The intellect has little to do on the road to discovery. There comes a leap in consciousness, call it Intuition or what you will, the solution comes to you and you don't know how or why." Albert Einstein
"When people are engaged in creating a totally different world, they always form vivid images of the preceding world."
David Carson's methods of typography in the 90's brought in a new vision of type and page design - quiet simply, breaking the traditional mold of type on a page and demanding fresh eyes from the reader. Squishing, smashing, slanting and enchanting the words on a layout, Carson made the point, over and over, that letters on a page are art. You can see the repercussions of his work to this day, on a million Flash intro pages and probably just as many skateboards and T-shirts.
