David Carson 'Ray Gun' magazine

'Ray Gun' was an American alternative rock and roll magazine. It was first published in Santa Monica, California. The magazine was led by art director David Carson who was born on September 8th 1954. The magazine was highly distinctive, despite being unique in that it did not follow typical magazine house-styles. The magazine had a disorderly style, and Carson's magazine explored experimental magazine typographic design.

As you can see, David Carson has deliberately opposed the typical magazine layout and design with the title at the top, and image facing the right way round. Not only has this magazine used an entirely different form of house-stlye, but each copy of the 'Ray Gun' collection is different from the next and previous edition. 

Here are some more Ray Gun magazine front cover examples that intentionally lack consistency.
