David Carson returns to print with new magazine

Influential graphic designer David Carson is making a bold return to print after the magazine he led, Ray Gun, folded more than 10 years ago.
The new magazine, called C A R S O N, will “share his unique vision and dedication to quality in not only design, but fine art, illustration, photography and writing as well”, according to a press release.
It is slated for a bi-monthly release beginning this year.
Each issue will be themed and will cover the whole gamut from culture to current events. Carson and his team have been soliciting contributors from established writers and artists to bring a “new interest to print magazines”, the release said.
Carson will take the role of art and design director in the new endeavor.
Lest you think this is nothing more than a hankering for the past, editor-in-chief Alex Storch said the new title isn’t “about being retro”.
“It’s about pushing forward,” Storch said in a statement. “People want quality things they can hold and touch, not pseudo-journalism and themed template design on their computers. We’re excited for people that have only seen David’s books and a heavily-worn copy of Ray Gun to experience his mastery of the form.”
