Short film from Hillman Curtis about graphic designer David Carson. During college, Carson was hands down my favorite designer, which I’m sure wasn’t unique for a design student at the turn of the millennium. Yet, my initial exposure to David Carson came far earlier in my life: he designed a number of my favorite spreads in Surfer Magazine from the early 90’s, including a landmark piece introducing Mavericks to the rest of the world, a wave I had grown up with in my backyard. It wasn’t until college, when I got my hands on a copy of The End of Print, that I made the connection between David Carson and all those childhood surf magazines. Thanks for the memories Hillman.
