I really liked this artist! Finally, somebody I can relate to in this course. I really enjoyed his theories of being able to create art and not have to fallow the "rules" that many have set before. His art work was very enjoyable and pleasant to view and thus, he has had zero "professional" training. He just goes with the flow!

Part 2:

The way that David Carson thinks is something that I could heavily relate to. I love how he comes up with these ideas and just runs with them. Whether it be trying to build up an avalanche of words to make an article seem to be intense or to start with trying to mask off a piece of an image to crop it and end up throwing some bright yellow cellophane paper on it and presto, he has a whole new crazy image... I love the freedom he has when he is designing his layouts, I think it allows him to hit and miss to create master pieces that only one can dream of...

Wow, I believe this artist gets a lot of credit in my book. Artists that were able to do all of the incredible typology that is done now my computers in actual real life form are amazing. I think it is crazy how one can step out of a computer and come up with ideas to display text in real every day items. I also liked his comments about how his art work is not done for all fun and games, but to put an important message across. I hope someday to be able to come out of my shell so that I may do the same.
