He was the artdirector for the magazine Ray Gun. Carson was perhaps the most influential graphic designer of the 1990s. In particular, his widely imitated aesthetic defined the so-called"grunge typography"
Indeed, his maxim of the 'end of print' questioned the role of type in the emergent age of digital design, following on from California New Wave andcoinciding with experiments at the Cranbrook Academy of Art.
In the later 1990s he added corporate clients to his list of clients. including Microsoft, Armani, Nike, Levis, BritishAirways, Quiksilver, Sony, Pepsi, Citibank, Yale University, Toyota and many others.
