David Carson
The Magazine Factory, London .

David Carson uses Photography and modern day technology like
computers to generate his images. David’s style is grunge typography. With
David’s work he purposely blurs the images and makes them out of focus to give
the images a sense of mystery making the image more interesting.
With David Carson’s work he intentionally makes his designs
emotional trying to convey feelings and attitude through the contents. David
says that his designs should always be more then mere design.
In David’s designs his main images are normally placed in
the centre of the image which dominates a lot of the space. When David uses
images ( Photography ) the image is easy to see and isn't unrecognisable but in
some of his images where text is dominate the text can be hard to read and
sometimes unreadable. David uses a lot of different colours depending on what
emotional response he is trying to make you feel. The text is large and easy to
read but doesn't overwhelm the image which makes the image look tidy. The text
is a lot brighter then the image behind it which makes it easy to see and read.
The main point is the text and image working together. Because of the way the
text is used and how it follows the shape of the person and is sometimes behind
the person giving the image depth the text and image work together and aren't clashing with one another.
In his designs I like how he integrates images and text
together making the images more interesting. I like how he is able to make the
text look like part of the images and not look like it’s just been thrown on
top of an image.
I think how David Carson is trying to use his work to
influence an emotional response in the viewer makes his work more interesting
and allows him to tell you more then he could just with images.
I don’t think any other Media's would have worked well
because the way he makes his designs with modern day technology gives his work
a different effect then if he had used other Media's on top of the current ones.
