3. Swiss Modernism (Deconstructed)
While Carson is known for breaking rules, he was also aware of Swiss Modernism’s grid-based principles—he just chose to subvert them. His designs often played with asymmetry, overlapping elements, and disrupted hierarchies, creating tension between order and chaos.
4. Postmodernism & Experimental Typography
Carson rejected rigid design conventions, instead treating typography as a visual element rather than just a means of communication. He distorted, layered, and fragmented typefaces to evoke emotion, drawing inspiration from postmodern designers like Neville Brody and Tibor Kalman.
