I put hot sauce on everything, and I always look forward to trying new types of it! One of the things that often strikes me first is the label design. Here are a few examples of sauces I had around the house that I have yet to try. Each of these labels is a…
The image above is a button graphic of my boyfriend, Ben, who passed away last October. The graphic was designed by Emily Posola, a fellow student here at NCSU. This particular graphic is special to my heart, for obvious reasons, but aside from that, I enjoy how simple it is – you know exactly what…
I saw these signs when I was visiting Saxapahaw with my dad, and I could not get over how cool they were. When I saw the first sun bleached sign in the dirt, the libertarian slogan “don’t tread on me” immediately jumped out at me, which I thought was genius since it was placed in…
These photos are of one of my makeup products, Sunny Golden-Pink Blush by Benefit. This is an everyday object that I see continually in my daily life. I think the design is particularly eye catching, visually pleasing, and fitting of the product. The colors are warm and pink, suiting the name of the blush. I…
I found it interesting how this logo translates from a horizontal design to a square design. The horizontal logo is more tradition with the skier logo on the left and the company to the right of it. The designer of the this logo successfully transforms this logo to a square version to put on a…
I think the design of the CeraVe bottle is a good fit for their branding. They want to be known as clean and fresh and the two colors I would think of that symbolizes clean and fresh would be blue and white. Most of their products are white with either a little bit of blue…
This picture was taken inside the fake Eiffel tower in Las Vegas, Nevada. I took the picture to capture how nice the sky looked, even if it was several colored tiles and therefore fake. Upon closer inspection, the banner/logo of the kiosk was very off-putting. I find it extremely annoying, not only are the colors…
I found this poster in the tunnel that leads you towards Riddick hall. It caught my attention because of the big and bold “FREE SHOW.” Whoever was in charge of creating this small poster knew how to use this font and sizing to their advantage. Everyone loves free things! At the end of the day,…
What I like about this design and the contrast of the Red and Blue. As well as the simple branding it has done but still a very popular product that people buy. The Bulls head budding each other gives off a manly but strong, stoic vibe to the drink. Made to drink only if needed…
While shopping at Whole Foods one afternoon I came across the company Tony’s Chocolonely. What I like about the branding and overall design of the candy bar company is the brightly colored wrapping and the strong, yet fun typography. While scanning the different chocolate options in the candy aisle, this company is nearly impossible to…
I came across this deodorant while shopping at Wegmans. In an isle filled with deodorant, these ones immediately caught my eye, but for all the wrong reasons. I find this packaging design to be uninspired, cliché, and unnecessarily gendered. Before I list all of the reasons why I do not like this design, I’ll first…
I found this design on a graham cracker box sitting on my counter at home. I was drawn in by the bold blue color used and the playful design. I like how they made the text distort with the house icon in the background, and how they made the leg of the “R” long and…
Stosskopf, Florent, Nude With Matisse Painting, 2020, Acrylic on Canvas, 55 1/10 in x 63 in. Florent Stosskopf’s Nude With Matisse Painting is a painting I came across while doing research for another class. When I first saw the painting, I was instantly drawn in by the vibrant colors the artist chose for this piece.…
This photo was taken in North Hills while I was taking photos for the navigating space assignment. This caught my eye immediately. Firstly we see that this depiction of Starry Night was painted inside a nook in the wall where people can walk into the painting. This to me was why I chose this for…
I was walking into Talley and came across this graphic design. This design really caught my attention for two reasons. The first reason is because of the size of the design. The type of design that size is typically done on the freedom expression tunnel; therefore, to see it in Talley really stood out to…
