then In 1983, Carson started to experiment with graphic design and found himself immersed in the artistic and bohemian culture of Southern California.

carson then whent on to work in the magazine called  transworld skatebording 

he was a profetional surfer and in 1989 he was named the 9th best surfer in the world this led to 

Steve and Debbee Pezman, publishers of Surfer magazine asking Carson to design Beach Culture

 this was his first important job. soon Carson was hired by publisher Marvin Scott Jarrett to design Ray Gun, a magazine of international standards which had music and lifestyle as its subject.

i like his work because he uses lots of sizes and fonts of righting and it isn't all just the same size another reason why i like it is because of the use of bold colours in the typography so it stands out.

i don't like that there isn't allot of imagery in his work and i didn't find it visually entertaining
