On Monday we had three more presentations on Tibor Kalman, David Carson, and Matthew Carter. Tibor Kalmas is a social activist from Hungry. He is known for M&Co, which is his design firm with his wife. They design magazines, film titles and books. He likes to incorporate social issues into his work. He also believed in doing something different, something you don't see everyday. He was also known for his colors magazine, which took famous people such as Queen Elizabeth and Arnold Schwarzenegger and colored them black. Which I'm sure created a lot of uproar over. The next presentation was on David Carson. He had very innovative designs. His designs were very emotional. He didn't go to school, he was a self taught designers. He played off of the Swiss style with asymmetrical layouts. Surfing had a big influence on him. His style was known for big ideas, custom fonts, and cluttered pages. His era was before and after the computer as well. He had many different tittles such as a graphic designer, typographer, author, surfer, and many more. Lastly was Matthew Carter. Matthew Carter is a typography designers who produced a large variety of type. He was largely influenced by his father. He was also influenced by some Reinecassce painters. Technology was a big influence as well. He believed that technology changes faster than design does.
