Carson
A browser-based poster editor for messy, manual, David Carson-inspired compositions. Slice, scatter, xerox and re-roll a clean layout until it breaks in the right places — then undo your way back.
You can't learn Carson from a grid
David Carson's layouts look accidental, but every break is a decision. Studying the physical copies made it obvious: the only way to understand how the type moves is to move it yourself.
Start boring, then wreck it
Every poster begins finished and dull. Scramble the structure, scatter the headline, run it through the copier, re-roll the accident — and undo it. Precision and play become the same gesture.
A real editor under the chaos
Text, image, shape and fragment layers on a canvas. Slice into strips or columns, xerox and photocopy-noise treatments that keep text editable underneath, poster presets, PNG export and full undo/redo.
Controlled accidents
A tribute that works as a teaching tool: seeded randomness you can walk back, so every broken layout is one you chose.
