He was the "enfant terrible" of graphic design in the nineties. His tortured typography prompted a vocal camp of critics to accuse him of being flippant and of destroying the communicative basis of design. But now the techniques of David Carson (and those of his countless imitators) dominate advertising, design, the Web, and even motion pictures. With 35,000 copies of the original sold, this revised edition of "The End of Print" includes a striking new cover and first chapter that puts Carson's work in context. The rest is vintage Carson--cutting edge and explosive. "The End of Print" tracks his career from skateboard and surf magazines, to the landmark "Beach Culture" magazine and his groundbreaking grid-breaking work for "Ray Gun, " and finally to handling major corporate identity accounts. "The End of Print" marks a turning point in design that ushered in the look of today.

another way to read the "end-of-print" prophecy. Perhaps it referred to Carson and the wave of experimentation that took print to the edge - as far as print could go. Read the first page

Viewing the pages in this book simply to experience works by the graphic artist David Carson fills one's mind with awe. The creativeness of Carson's exploration of type, layout and visual imagery amazes and inspires! Blackwell's compilation of images from Carson's folio forms an excellent source of reference and graphic stimulus for the designer and student alike. I have no idea if there is any accompanying text!

This book is not for the faint-hearted. If you want neatly-justified paragraphs and standard column grids then stay away.
If, on the other hand, you're ready to let go of your pre-conceived notions about the role of typography and print in the mainstream media, then this book will blow you away.
It's typography with emotions. Inspirational.
