In 1984 Carson was appointed as the art director of Transworld Skateboarding, during his time as art director he developed his signature style of 'dirty' typography and non-mainstream photographic techniques.

Whilst I like Carson's signature 'grunge' typography, I think that some of his pieces where he has used a more simplistic typeface look equally as good and are just as affective as when he uses his raw, distressed typefaces. I also like how he intergrates the image and the typography, rather than them being two separate aspects.
