Carson Static — Deconstructed Grunge Spread

A full-throated tribute to David Carson's Ray Gun era: type fractured and overprinted, photographs rotated against the grain, body copy bleeding deliberately off-canvas. Unlike tidy maximalist templates, this one treats every grid violation as a load-bearing design decision.

This template exists on the conviction that legibility is not always the point — tension, texture, and visual aggression communicate what clean grids cannot. It inherits the 1990s belief that layout itself is content: a body block running into the gutter says something a centered headline never could. It refuses hierarchy, decorative restraint, and the quiet authority of baseline alignment. It is built for speakers who treat the slide surface as an artifact rather than a delivery mechanism.
