| Trek is David Carson’s first graphic design book in the past five years. Along with his latest photographic feats it features film and web work and brilliant new designs created for illustrious clients such as Nine Inch Nails and Quicksilver. Also included is a selection of designs David has created at workshops conducted in countries all over the world. |
| With Trek, David Carson is deftly shuffling the deck, bridging the elusive gaps between several different genres. His photographs are always of particular interest: everyday people, places and objects transformed through his uncompromising respect for free association, his extraordinary sense of color, and his vision. |

The images — some conventionally interesting, others indecipherable — are flung onto the pages like paint on a canvas that magically lands in just the right place." |
