Sep 27, 2016- A collection of very cool Ray Gun Magazine covers, spreads and pages designed by David Carson, Chris Ashworth and others. See more ideas about Page design, Magazine design and David carson.

It was serendipity that I met David Carson at a Seattle design studio after graduate school. He was in town to give a lecture for the AIGA and I was visiting the city. After reviewing my portfolio, he offered me a job on the music magazine, Ray Gun. I flew out to California the following week to be a design intern. Because Ray Gun was the antithesis of my Yale studies, it broadened my understanding of design and approach to my work.

I am really struggling with the Layout and grid especially the thumbnails so I took Lorenzo's advise and started trying to find some innovative editorial design. This is what I have found so far (I have focussed on Music as my Chris indesign double page spread has a music infuence.)
