Another piece that looks like it can be pushed a littler further. The body copy on the right doesn't match at all. Try a condensed san serif (like helveticaNueve or frutiger) make it a small point size (8-10pt?) and either wide leading or almost zero leading. Just some suggestions to try and make it a little more interesting and open the page up a little so your eye can 'breathe'

It was just an artistic piece, the fonts are all used here for display puproses, just a kind of a vision of how david car5on used to use fonts for same purpose. And yes it mess with readbility some how; cause the main problem between car5on's and other typographers locates in legability and readbility area; as david car5on depends on his artistic sense while he is working, that means I just used his fonts and plaied with them in an artistic piece as an exprement. FYI, I don't consider 8 - 10 pt sizes on screens layouts for body text " 10 point body text is generally not a good idea on-screen. 14-16 point won't look unusually large on a monitor, and will be significantly easier to read than smaller type." Resource: [link]
Also I normally use Verdana, trebuchet MS, or Georgia for screens, sometimes I consider frutiger but it doesn't work on screen better than verdana and terbuchet at least for me. Thank you.

I'm quite familiar with Carson's work. However Carson doesn't have extreme amounts of copy on his work like you do (I'm talking about the copy one the right specfically the paragraphs on top of paragraphs). That's what I was suggesting you fix. If it's purely artistic than it would make more sense to make it pleasing to the eye visually in which case that body copy shouldn't have to be 14-16pt. If you took my suggestions you'd open up some space and allow the eye to move around the piece, which BTW Carson does.
Again these were only a few suggestion and opinions on what I would have done.

Oh, well please feel free to tell suggestions and opinions as you like, I am used on this kind of talk as it is the normal thing in typography communities. 
Let me say: I am not copying car5on. I was just studying him, I collected his fonts and put them in text blocks then used some tricks he used and some tricks I also used to use, and I mixed both in an exprement. When I have done I started to write the text in a messy way with his "wrong font" which he normally use for titles but I used here as a text/copy font with no even orginizing and said if you u can read it, then why not?. Ofcourse if I did that for a client he will kick me out of his office

Love the type , not sure why you used Serif Typo's Mixed , to me it looks kinda disturbing. But maybe your assignment was to set the contrast between ordinary and extraordinary

"Damn Why did u even try read this ?"
I actually try to read it, just to find that note at the end.
In my opinion this one is more "abstract" but I must applaud you for the organization of the texts. (and pics as well.)
they came out very good.
