About this Item

First UK edition. Card covers with French flaps. 28.5 × 24.5cm, unpaginated. This copy has been signed and dedicated by David Carson to the title page, also with his business card taped in. The End of Print is the first collection of the work of David Carson, arguably the most innovative and influential graphic designer of the 1990s. Carson's layered, challenging approach to typography has earned him an international reputation. At the cutting edge, he continually reinvents the relationship between design and type and has single-handedly changed the course of graphic design. A former professional surfer, sociology teacher and now art director of Ray Gun magazine, Carson has crystallized the look and attitude of an entire generation and leads a revolution in visual communication. In just a few years, he has acquired a cult following of young designers eager to break with tradition and forge a new aesthetic. Condition: This copy is in very good condition, but with a light crease to the bottom edge of the front cover, a hint of sun fading to the top of the front cover and a little corner creasing but essentially remaining in strong readable condition, and scarce signed.
