TED Talks

Below is a link to a TED talk by David Carson who is a "grunge typographer"/designer who hails from Santa Monica, CA. He made a name for himself  in the 1990's by breaking with the rules of typography and type design in a style that is now found on t-shirts, skate boards, flash intros, and more. He founded the magazine Ray Gun and designed pages that squished, smashed, slanted and butchered type in the name of design, making the point, over and over, that letters on a page are art.

This is one of the examples he shows during his talk:

"Don't mistake legibility for communication."

The video is humorous and shows examples of his design sense. A delight to watch. Check it out...
