RayGun
Ray Gun was an American alternative rock-and-roll magazine, first published in 1992 in Santa Monica, California. Led by founding art director David Carson, Ray Gun explored experimental magazine typographic design. The result was a chaotic, abstract style, not always readable, but distinctive in appearance. That tradition for compelling visuals continued even after Carson left the magazine after three years; he was followed by a series of art directors, including Robert Hales, Chris Ashworth, Scott Denton-Cardew, and Jerome Curchod.
David Carson
David Carson is an American graphic desgner. He is best known for his innovative magazine design, and use of experimental typography. He was the art director for the magazine Ray Gun. Carson was perhaps the most influential graphic designer of the nineties. In particular, his widely-imitated aesthetic defined the so-called "grunge" era.

3rd Typography Poster
Using both previous stationery-typography designs I lay them over an image of crinkled paper found on the web and blended the text letters together using Photoshop. The other bits of text in the bottom-right was added on Illustrator.
2nd Typography Poster
I cut parts out of the Sugar Typography shown earlier on my blog and created my initials. I then added text about how it was made using illustrator.
