Wild Design – February

Tropes in the Media: Husbands vs. Wives
The trope that I chose to study was the dynamic between husband and wife. These roles within a family have evolved throughout the years, but at the start, specific identities were given to the man and the woman. This trope does not even take into account the different types of families that are emerging now.…

Wild Design
This sticker is a logo for a restaurant in my friend’s hometown. I find the type on this very dynamically interesting with the fl0w of the letters. The restaurant it’s from is on the Outer Banks, so the font itself plays well with the surfboard contextually. The general shape that it follows feels very purposeful…
Little Dutch Boy Trope
The trope that I chose for this assignment was The Little Dutch Boy. What is funny about this story is that it is not from Holland, but was written by American writer Mary Maples Dodge in 1865. In fact, most people who live in Holland do not even know what the story is about or…
Graphic Design In The Wild-Shampoo Bottle
My discovery of Graphic Design in the wild included the shampoo that I use. I really love the design of the bottle, not only because of the font but because of the illustrations all around the bottle. Something I love in graphic design is the use of hand drawn elements and I feel like you…
Target design + my own
Hello Everyone, I hope I am not too late with my post. I have been so busy and honestly didn’t have much time to remember or walk around the outstanding design, but I passed by Target and decided to use it as my choice. I always thought that their logo was so on point and…
Yellow Peril in Media

Reenie Beanie
This font, Reenie Beanie, is a playful, loose look created by the talented James Grieshaber. It is based on handwriting, more particularly a ball-point pen look. It is a font that can be used for more casual messages. One piece of information that I enjoyed is that with a little imagination, this font can be…
‘Exhibition of 13 Hong Kong Famous Artists, Nagoya’ by Kan Tai-Keung
‘Exhibition of 13 Hong Kong Famous Artists, Nagoya’ is a good example of the type of style and finesse that artist Kan Tai Keung involves in his work. It is not clear who his client was for this painting, likely for an art exhibition in Japan, regardless this design in particular was created in 1989.…
Kyle Cooper’s Spider-man Title Sequence
Kyle Cooper’s work on Spider-man was revolutionary. His goal was to make the viewer feel tied into the movie and not want to be anywhere else.

Ivan Chermayeff – The Pack Rat
