David Carson on design + discovery


Carson talks about how great design is a never-ending journey of discovery. He presented many of his own and discovered works of graphic design.

I was captivated from the first few seconds. What I found most significant was the notion and idea that there is great power and emotion in graphic design. In addition, the idea that you have to utilize who you are in your work. No one else can pull from your life experience and if you allow to happen, you'll create work that is not only unique but also the most satisfying. These concepts or ideas are important to me because I feel as though my past career experiences have been less about passion and personal satisfaction but rather more about fiscal stability and responsibility.

Three links associated with the individual or talk:
dcd
David Carsons' website. Bio, gallery and client lists. Screen #1 has one of my favorite quotes. It is 'THE PAOMNNEHAL PWEOR OF THE HMUAN MNID' quote.

Raygun - Live Action + Motion Design + Editorial
Link to 'raygun', which is a website based on the magazine first published in 1992 and led by Art Director David Carson. As to be expected, the site is very graphic and eclectic.

The History of Visual Communication
Link to a link within 'citrinitas', which relates to the talk in this site reviews not only the history of visual communication but also touches base on the emotional impact it has.
