His child life influenced his work and that ended up being a good thing. With his wife, he opened a design firm called M&Co. for magazines, film titles, and books. He believed in 'going green' and women's rights movements. M&Co. created a C.D. cover with talking heads, which influenced other designers. He created a design for matches, where the matches were arranged in a way that it made up a skyline design. He created very interesting watches. I loved seeing them. Especially the one where there was only one number and another where the numbers were all scattered and mixed up. With magazine covers, he liked mixing up the cultural backgrounds of people. For example, he made Queen Elizabeth look African.
David Carson
Began his designs in the 1980s. He was a self-taught designers, however he did attend a design workshop. He was inspired by abstract-expressionists. He was also influenced by surfing--giving him a laid back style. He designed his own surf board. His designs looked very cluttered, asymmetrical and vividly colored. Technology had a major impact on his design style as the computer was becoming popular. He was an art director and an art designer from '83--'94. He is best known for his work with Ray Gun-- a magazine with experimental typography. The covers were very interesting-looking.
