This project merges one of my passions, surfing, with the study of graphic design, focusing on the work of David Carson, a pioneer in surf and skate magazines. Known for his "dirty" designs and illegible typography, Carson revolutionized the editorial world in surf culture. The project involves creating a magazine that narrates Carson's life, career, and historical context, with a design inspired by his distinctive style and the grunge aesthetic. Additionally, delving into the history of grunge design and its context, the project culminates in the creation of a graphic piece that encapsulates this style. Leveraging my interest in vinyl records and the musical influence of the era, I redesign two vinyl covers of contemporary artists in a grunge style, integrating the visual and cultural principles that define this movement.
