David Carson Design opens studio in Zurich

Un document

Zurich (ots)

Returning to the city where he enrolled in his
first graphic design course, David Carson has opened a studio in
Zurich. Described as the most influential graphic designer working
today, Carson has decided to focus his work in Europe on serving
agencies and clients alike with his often imitated, but never matched
expertise in visual communication.
"I was pleasantly surprised by the diversity and creativity I have
found in Zurich, there is really an independent and burgeoning design
community here, and I can think of no better location for my next
studio," said Carson. "I am really looking forward to doing more work
in Europe, and being in Zurich allows for easy access to clients and
agencies across the continent."
From his groundbreaking work on Beach Culture and Ray Gun
magazines through to his work for many of the world's largest
companies, Carson's designs have always been unique and provocative,
and elicited strong opinions.
"People used to say that I was disrespectful to the writing in
what I was doing in Ray Gun. I think it was very much the opposite. I
was reading the articles, trying to interpret them and trying to draw
attention to them. The starting point is never to make something
ugly, or to make it hard to read, or to make it award winning or to
make it pretty. The starting point is to try to interpret something.
What have I just read? What have I just listened to?" said Carson.
"That is how I have always approached communications challenges, by
determining what the best way is for getting across a particular
point using the strongest and most effective visual language
possible," he continued.
Carson and his work have been featured in over 180 magazine and
newspaper articles around the world, including a feature in Newsweek
magazine, which said that, "He changed the public face of graphic
design." Carson's work continues to be subjective and largely driven
by intuition, with an emphasis on reading material before designing
it, and experimenting with ways to communicate in a variety of
mediums. Carson remains a hands-on designer, keeping his studio small
and mobile.
