Highly recommended alternative design book!

David Carson is the only original designer since the Bauhaus. His work breaks the mold of the ever increasingly boring grids. Enough can't be said for his contributions to print, type, and web design. He is in a class by himself. Yes, there alot of wannabes now. But it all started with Carson. It is seldom that there is a true original, especially in the tight laced world of graphics. He is the singular, groundbreaking designer that changed the face of things.

I'm rating this on condition only, while i do want to read this in the worst way imaginable, i'm sorry Amazon, i just haven't had the time, with trying to graduate and all, but since you insist on asking me what i think of it, here is my run down.

Pros-
Definitely a book
Doesn't seem to have a political affiliation (it's a book)
Not made of human flesh (it's a book)
Doesn't nag me to get a job like my ex
Doesn't appear to be the necronomicon

Cons-
Some of the design seems dated
Doesn't include free wifi (it's a book)
Doesn't fill the void of my parents divorce
Doesn't appear to be the necronomicon

Completely creative, cutting edge, and visually stimulating. David Carson's look at typography is a real eye opener to new and extreme avenues that this design element can bring. It's a fabulous resource, full of wonderful photography and great ideas. It's a great tool for designers and students alike. Very helpful and well worth the money.

I thought the book was very inspirational, with many many many examples of Carson's rule-breaking design. Definately a must own for those with a fresh and adventurous take on design. However, this book is not for designers who cling to 'the grid' like a baby blanket or those who tremble at the idea of pushing the limits of visual communication.
