In his latest book, nu collage.001, Carson has created a new collection of collages without the constraints of clients or creative briefs and the resulting work is a brilliant evolution that straddles the line between art and design. 'New Collages From Iconic Graphic Designer David CarsonDavid Carson has been on the leading edge of graphic design for decades and has created iconic work for some of the biggest companies and most important brands in the world.
