Carsona (i Nevilla Brody’ego) pokazał mi kiedyś Tencin, kiedy mieszkał jeszcze na Kabatach, a ja wpadłem w odwiedziny. To było dla mnie ponowne odkrycie typografii. Na stronie można znaleźć dlaczego warto go obejrzeć, ale mimo wszystko zacytuję:

Why you should listen to him:

David Carson’s boundary-breaking typography in the 1990s, in Ray Gun magazine and other pop-cult books, ushered in a new vision of type and page design — quite simply, breaking the traditional mold of type on a page and demanding fresh eyes from the reader. Squishing, smashing, slanting and enchanting the words on a layout, Carson made the point, over and over, that letters on a page are art. You can see the repercussions of his work to this day, on a million Flash intro pages (and probably just as many skateboards and T-shirts).
