Studio Brief 4 - David Carson

One style that i would love to look into and apply to studio brief 4 is post-modernism style. The work of David Carson, who is one of the most influential Post-modernism artists out there is a huge influence to the technique that i want to use. David Carson is known for not playing by rules and often designs without a concept. Designing without a concept is something i may take forward to this project. With Brief 4 i feel i can finally experiment with this style to the fullest. I feel this is what I'm aiming for and i think having the target audience aimed at the younger generation who are the first year students, i will have to room and freedom to do so.

Some examples of David Carson's work.

Very edgy, you can instantly tell the target audience by the way it looks and feels. Great use of mix media within the collage.

Design without rules. In theory it shouldn't work but this is where design knowledge and talent comes into it's own.

Yet again, designing with only a few rules. Taking a completely different approach, but still keeping to a 4 column grid.
