Nicole Togneri, presenter of Marlborough Fine Art has claimed that the work of David Carson appeals to younger audience. He knows much about " now". Although he still commands tremendous amount of respect from his fellow designers, it is debatable whether Carson's work would considered by them to be anything remotely resembling "cutting edge".
Immaculee Conception 2001, is both a found poster as well as experimental surface for Carson's overprint of red-inked typographic form
The screen print plays upon what might be read as provocative juxtaposition of David Carson's name with an engraving of French mid-19th century Madonna, enshrined by plump cherubs was another interesting pieces in the show.

Post Modernism
David Carson, the most influential graphic design has leading design era to another realm--- Post modernism. He is also the significance of post modernism.
Post modernism--a cultural movement that more rigid, inflexible and irrelevant.In other hand, it can be defined as a cultural, intellectual or artistic state lacking a clear central hierarchy or organizing principle and embodying extreme complexity, contradiction, ambiguity and diversity. It is opposite the theory of modernism.
From the work of David Carson is clearly showed the Post Modernism, he has found a new way to express his idea and thought instead using traditional way. He is not teach by traditional art and design method before,therefore he has more freedom to illustrate. He can find his own rhythm , movement , or emotion and create it in his own composition but not overdoing. From the magazine layout, either the new element he created or the composition he used always make the audience unexpected.
His typography has reveal the post modernism characteristic : he is mixed the serif and sans serif letter forms to come out a hybrid fonts with the abstracted shapes. He also breaks the traditional grid rules when he arranged the position of the font in layout magazines.

Critique
There are people who interested on David Carson design and admired his creativity that boost up new, fresh look in design field. But yet, there are also a number of people do not agree with his grunge style design element and make them feel uncomfortable when looking into it.
So, what they feel when they looking at David Carson design?
-they feel hard to read the article
-it will divert the design student when they follow the grunge style that invent by him
-is impossible to be radical when cooperate with big company like "Nike" , "Microsoft"
-sometimes it might spoil the spread as too complicated

David Carson & Deconstruction
When I research about David Carson, I found that there are some relationship between his design and deconstruction.
Here are some introduction about Deconstruction
-this concept is introduced by Jacques Derrida
-it is not focus on the themes but rather on the linguistic and institutional system that appear on the production
of text
- it also affected many field either music, art, architecture, typography and others
-there are two principle appear in the deconstruction: the first principle is people think and express their
idea or feeling in opposite terms. For example: positive and negative. Next principle is if there are no second
the first will always not recognize by others. The second is always support the first
Therefore, in design field, deconstruction is appeared for designer have more space to express their
creativity and explore their style in design. David Carson, as a successful typographer have achieve the deconstruction style in his art work.
Here are some question pop up from my mind:
1. how David Carson art works and deconstruction related?
- David Carson's typography?
- His own design theory and deconstruction theory?
2.Can David Carson be proved as deconstruction?
-it might not clarify as deconstructionist
-maybe he only come out his own style with his own thought
3 Is there any common point between David Carson design and the Deconstruction?
-characteristic of both design?
