In November 1995 he published his first book the End of Print, which sold over 200,000 copies in five different languages. The second book 2nd Sight was published in 1997. it is said that this book changed the public face of graphic design ( Newsweek).

Third book which won the Award of Best Use of Photography in graphic design in 1999 was Fotografiks.

The fourth book, Trek was released in 2000.

2009 when  I started my Graphic Design course at Northampton College, my first project was to do some research about some of the famous graphic designer. My first designer was David Carson and from that time I really loved his design and try to get some idea from his design.
