relevant photographers , graphic designers and magazine creators

David Carson is an American graphic designer , art director and surfer . He is best known for his innovative magazine design, and use of experimental typography. He was the art director for the magazine Ray Gun , in which he employed much of the typographic and layout style for which he is known In one issue, he notoriously used Dingbat, a font containing only symbols, as the font for what he considered a rather dull interview with Bryan Ferry (However, the whole text was published in a legible font at the back of the same issue of Ray Gun as well). In 1995, Carson left Ray Gun to found his own studio, David Carson Design, in New York City. He started to attract major clients from all over the United States. During the next three years (1995–1998), Carson was doing work for Pepsi Cola, Ray Ban, Nike, Microsoft, Budweiser and Giorgio Armani. In 2004, Carson became the Creative Director of the Gibbes Museum of Art in Charleston. That year, he also designed the special "Exploration" edition of Surfing Magazine. In a feature story, Newsweek magazine said he "changed the public face of graphic design". In November 1995, Carson published his first book, End of Print. It sold over 200,000 copies in five different languages and soon became the best-selling graphic design book worldwide. I don't really consider David Carson to be the right graphic designer for my magazine as I feel some of his designs are quiet boring and lack the distinctive edge I am looking to get in my magazine , also I find his font choices rather bizarre and would definitely not work in harmony with all the other things throughout my magazine .

CHRISTOPHE BRUNNQUELL was the creator of the magazine Purple, he is the genius that has changed how many magazines look nowadays, as his magazine was based on nearly all images, it has revolutionised the way that magazines are created. He has influenced many people to change the way in which they create their magazines, instead of basing it on writing he has used creativity to just use images. This style gives the magazines its own, unique type and separates it from the other competing magazines. For his magazines he often uses a lot large white area space as shown on the picture on the right , and in a weird way I find this to look very professional and it just makes the magazine distinctive from opposing magazines because it is different. Christophe is similar to the style I would like in my magazine I admire his individuality and contrast between modern magazines. I think his specific work would work well with a music genre such as Indie music which is what my genre is . Also this could apply to popular music and my magazine if I chose to just focus my work on just providing images , but really my focus in my magazine Is to get incredible image and revolve the magazine around that so it would work well .

Steven Klein is an American photographer based in New York , after studying painting at the Rhode Island School of Design, he moved into the field of photography. Klein shot high-profile advertising campaigns for various clients including Calvin Klein, D&G, Alexander McQueen and Nike and is a regular contributor to magazines including American and Paris Vogue, i-D, Numéro, W and Arena. His work has featured in numerous exhibitions, most recently at the Gagosian Gallery, California and the Brancolini Grimaldi Gallery in Florence. Klein is well known for his W Magazine editorials with Madonna, Tom Ford, Brad Pitt and numerous others. He has inspired me In my photography as he has worked with some of the all time greats , and work for many famous magazines and brands. And despite him working with some huge magazines I think he would be the perfect photographer for my magazine as his images are simple which allows me to use mastheads and cover lines around the image effectively to fill in the negative space and also he seems to capture an image very well and change up the poses used to make every image different .
