Designer Typography. Chloe

David Carson, Well known for his use of experimental typography. Carson’s layouts featured distortions or mixes of ‘vernacular’ typefaces and fractured imagery, rendering them almost illegible. “End of print” questioned the role of type in the emergent age of a digital design. By the late eighties he had developed his signature style of “dirty” type and non main stream photography. He would later be dubbed the ‘father of grunge’
Carson’s extensive use of combinations of typography elements and photography led many designers to completely change their work methods and designers from all over the world would base their style on the new ‘standards’ that have distinguished Carson’s work. He took photography and type and manipulated and twisted them together.
Carson experimented with type by doing upside down 5 for S and using 3 for E, often you could hardly read the articles. His influence on the stodgy type world has been like an asteroid from outer space. In 1993 Carson started the “GarageFonts” digital type foundry as a vehicle to distribute the fonts used in Ray Gun magazine.

Designer Quote 2. Chloe

Tibor Kalman was an influential american designer of a hungarian origin. He was well known for his work as editor-in-chief of Colors magazine.
He was born in 1949 and died in 1999. In 1979 kalman started the design firm “M&Co”
Tibor Kalman founded editor-in-chief of the Colors magazine in 1990. in 1993 he moved to Rome to work exclusively on the magazine that was billed as ‘a magazine about the rest of the world’
Princeton Architectural press published a book about Tibor Kalman and M&Co’s work in 1999.
M&Co (named after his wife and co-creator, Maira) is still running strong today.
Tibor saw himself as a social activist. He saw graphic design as a means of achieving two ends: good design and social responsibility.
Tibor devoted M&Co’s seasonal self-promotional gifts to help bring awareness to the support for the homeless. One Christmas he sent more than 300 clients a small cardboard box filled with the typical contents of a homeless shelter meal and offered to match any donations that the recipients made to an agency for the homeless.
When Tibor sold a design to a client he did not hype a particular typeface or colour, but rather how the end result would simultaneously advance both culture and client.

“I see this as a business that affects peoples lives and affects peoples brains”

Shepard Fairey

Frank Shepard Fairey (born February 15, 1970) is a contemporary, artist, graphic designer, political artist and illustrator who emerged from the skateboarding scene.

In 1992 Fairey graduated from Rhode Island School of Design with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Illustration.

He first became known for his "Andre the Giant has a Posse " sticker campaign. His work became more widely known in the 2008 United States Presidential Election, specifically his Barack Obama “HOPE” poster. The Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston calls him one of today's best known and most influential street artists.

 His work is included in the collections at The Smithsonian, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art in New York, and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.

The Obey campaign can be explained as an experiment in Phenomenology. The first aim of Phenomenology is to reawaken a sense of wonder about one's environment. The Obey campaign attempts to stimulate curiosity and bring people to question both the campaign and their relationship with their surroundings. Because people are not used to seeing advertisements or propaganda for which the motive is not obvious, frequent and novel encounters with Obey propaganda provoke thought and possible frustration, nevertheless revitalizing the viewer's perception and attention to detail.

“The medium is the message.”

I personally have found researching Shepard Fairey the most interesting designer I love his ideas and concepts and could write much more!
