david carson

i had to write about a typographer in my typography class. I chose david carson. if this were elementary school, I think the marks would have been "less than satisfactory"

David Carson is an old white guy who graduated from san diego state university with “honors and distinction”, way back when. When he was young he was a proffesional surfer, and used to be ranked ninth in the world, whatever that means. Nowadays he runs a design company, and walks da erf like kane, from kung fu, learning whoever wants to learn at his lectures. He’s also directed a few commercials and short films and is considered “the most famous graphic designer on the planet” by creative review magazine (at least in 2004). He also fought off a gang of ninjas once, and received the nobel peace prize for protecting a kitten from a roaming gang of zebras, lower east compton.

I thought it was fine, nice and creative A++ smiley stamp
