David Carson-Ted Talks

David Carson talks about re-inventing design to push boundaries of intuition. He states that following one's intuition can not be taught, specifically in design, but is a vital part of creating something appealing and useful. Carson talks about emotions sent and received through a design. He uses the example of 2 garage doors, one with printed letters saying "no parking" and the other saying the exact same words but written in spray paint and underlined three times. Carson uses humor throughout his speech to make certain points about design. Most of these things are ironic points of interest, including the 5th printing of a book titled "The End of Print", an exhibit about photography being the end of painting, and minimal graffiti on a minimal street sign. One of the strongest points he made was that legibility is not the same as good communication. In the People magazine from 9/11, Carson speaks to the bad design of the terror story combined with the ads, and how they negatively affected one another. Overall he criticizes, evaluates, and jokes about every aspect of design and their unintentional irony.
