Gavin Ambrose and Chris Hunt – The Rules of Grafik Design + Creativity by David Carson

This session is about The Rules of Grafik Design + Creativity which is an archival book that David Carson had been working on from 2003 – 2009. Carson didn’t work on the book for that entire period, it isn’t a book that took eight years to make – rather it is scrap book, or record of eight years of Carson’s practice.

The book, which is essentially a series of thoughts, prompts and approaches to design is an instinctive and honest contemplation on design practice is now available as a piece of design history.

The book was ‘lost’ for many years and came to light again in 2022. The book was never finished and the original artwork files are now missing, with just. a single PDF version in existence. Some pages are unfinished, some are low resolution, and the book is reproduced as the original PDF with the printers crop-marks, notation, mistakes and unfinished elements.

Gavin Ambrose and Chris Hunt are presenting work related to this book in the form of experimental screen prints and strike sheets.
