RAYGUN MAGAZINES BY DAVID CARSON
RAYGUN is an American alternative rock and roll magazine first published in the early nineties. It was created and designed by David Carson; who is one of the most influential graphic designers of the nineties.
The most interesting aspect of RayGun magazines is shown in the composition and layout of all features in the magazine; which are incredibly bizarre and rebellious. This can even be said about the subjects and themes of the images/photographs published in the magazines.
Judging simply from the front cover image of a RAYGUN Magazine which I have posted here on this blog; I feel that simply the visual communication, lighting and appearance of the model looks like an aspect from a fine art based piece of work. Although it does feature a great element of text composing the magazine and blending with the model; in my personal opinion the text overall does not look neatly composed, they are layered in different sizes with slight changes to style of text and also in some areas the text of different lines blend together.
