Graphic Artists

David Carson

• David Carson is based in America and is a graphic designer and art director.
•  His is best known for his magazine designs and his use of experimental typography.
• He attended San Diego State University, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology.
• Carson became the art director of Transworld Skateboarding magazine in 1984, and remained there until 1988, helping to give the magazine a distinctive look.
• I like that he has incorporated the human figure into his different type faces. And I also like that you can still tell what the letter is. 
• I think the use of many letters on top of one another creates a different tone to the image and shade.
• The image third down has many different lettering but you can still read the words printed. I like that it is clear but in an interesting way.

Nancy Standlee

• Nancy Standlee is an Arlington, TX, award winning contemporary artist. 
• She uses bold, bright colours and uses many materials. 
• I don't particularly like collage but the second image I really like. The second image looks elegant and I think the colour pallet makes the image look more realistic. 
• I like the use of all different types of prints such us: maps, newspaper, stamps and magazines 
• She has degrees and certifications from Texas universities, Tarleton State University, University of North Texas and Texas Woman’s University.
• She is known for her fine art, paintings and collages.

Richard William Hamilton

• Richard William Hamilton (24 February 1922 – 13 September 2011) was an English painter and collage artist.
• A major retrospective of his work was at Tate Modern until May 2014.
• Richard Hamilton's early work was mainly influenced by D'Arcy Wentworth Thompson's 1917 text On Growth and Form.
• I really like the first image because the colours are very minimal. I'm not a fan of the over collages but I do like the first image.
