Listen "462 - David Carson"
Episode Synopsis
Apple called him "a pioneer with profound impact". Newsweek said he "changed the public face of graphic design". In 1991 David Carson redesigned Surfer Magazine and established a now iconic graphic design style seated in raw human emotion which led to numerous awards and an expansive client list including Audi, Nike, Obama, and album art for Nine Inch Nails. A lifelong surfer and 2018 inductee into the East Coast Surfing Hall of Fame, Carson discusses the value of failing publicly, the importance of humanity in design, and why it is impossible to not communicate.
