His typographic design and asymmetrical layout inspired abstract artists. Being a surfer influenced his work. His designs had no grid or layout, they were cluttered, his lettering was all over and different sizes, and expressive. He became highly successful despite the fact that he never actually went to school for design, he only attended a few workshops. Carson opened his own design business, and is well known for designing covers for Ray Gun magazine.
Alexis- Matthew Carter
Called the father of typography, he learned to do type by hand from his father, who was also a typographer. He created many fonts and created ink traps, all of which are still used today. He was the founder of Carter & Cone Inc. and redesigned MoMA logo. In his work he used different fonts and colors. I found it pretty awesome that he used the linotype machine to lay his type even after computers.
