I took this picture at the Coca-Cola world in Atlanta, Georgia. Coca-Cola is such a huge company and known around the world for its products. The first thing that comes to mind when I see the company’s logo is a rich gassy soda flavor and its biggest competitor Pepsi. I used to drink tons of…

Enlight: Art and Science in Everyday Life
I love dance. I dance every day, and I am on Fusion Dance Crew at NC State. One dancer that I came across on Instagram goes by the name of Mr. Kriss from Prague. What is interesting about Mr. Kriss (or Kristián Mensa) is that he is also a graphic designer. I like his Instagram…
Lululemon Bag
After my first purchase at Lululemon, I received this bag used to carry my product outside of the store. I’ve seen this bag around before and have always tried to read it from a distance. However, when I received my own, I realized that the design is rather complicated and confusing to read. Although Lululemon…
Django Unchained
One of my favorite directors is Quentin Tarantino, his story telling ability and cinematography draws me in every time I see one of his films. My favorite of his films is Django Unchained, and I’ve chosen a poster for that film for this Wild Design post! The first time I saw this poster, I thought,…
Pret-A-Porter
Board games don’t usually get the opportunity to be redesigned, because it’s expensive and most people won’t buy a board game twice. So the incentive has to be there to do so, and luckily Pret-A-Porter got that chance. Pictured below is the old design of the game. The original Pret-A-Porter was an abysmally ugly game.…
Go Dog Food
I went to pick up dog food with my wife last week and as we were checking out I saw this bag of dog food in the “new” section of the pet store. I was immediately drawn to it for how unique it’s design was in comparison to typical dog food. I have inserted a…
UPS and Poor Design
Over the past month or so, I have had to go to the UPS store for various reasons. During my time there, I always notice this new branding that they have started. Its design has always confused me from a typographic standpoint. In this example, your eye first goes to the white text. This brings…
Navigating Space in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is one of the largest open world video games ever published on a Nintendo platform, with a map that is roughly over six miles wide and four miles tall. As such, a good navigational system is a necessity when it comes to traversing this vast world. Unlike…
Beauty Bakerie Eyeshadow Palette
The design for this packaging has frequently had me starting at all the little details on it. Most other make-up palette covers I have are quite minimalist and not as vibrant as this one. The theme of the brand is food and baking, so their color choice for the palette was based around pudding which…
Chobani Multipack Container
For my first Design in the Wild I chose a Peach Flavored Chobani fruit cup multipack container. It interested me initially because it’s my go-to flavor, so it’s the one I had on hand. The Chobani brand is more inviting than the rest. I believe this is because of their use of space, type and…
2014 Indy Week Winner Poster
This past weekend, my family and I decided to go to dinner at Carolina Ale House downtown. We were waiting for a table for nine of us, and it took about 45 minutes to actually get seated with another 30 to start eating appetizers. I was starved, but that’s besides the point. During the wait,…
The Silence of the Lambs
I’m always interested in criminal and psychology movies and TV series. I’ve seen a lot of criminal movie posters. “The silence of the lambs” is the most impressive and meaningful one for me that I want to discuss and share. The first time I saw this poster, I was attracted by her red pupil eye,…
Down Time: iPhone Feature
Today I decided to use the down time feature for the first time. This feature allows the user to restrict the use of certain apps, or all apps, for a specific amount of time. The motive is to encourage a healthier technology usage lifestyle. Social media has become such a way of life, that it…
The Triumphs and Failures of an Agile Work Environment
Heading to 3020 Carrington Mill Blvd. in Morrisville, North Carolina can be rather lackluster and mundane. The repetitive nature of the many business parks is emphasized by the strikingly similar features of the individual buildings. As each car of an ambitious nine-to-five’er pulls into their respective building, the car you, the reader, are in is…
Asian Stereotypes
Asian Americans have been presented in a variety of manners over the past several decades – from bookworms who obsess over their grades, luxury-brand obsessed business moguls, to submissive individuals who are often pushed to the background, Asian-Americans face heavy stereotypes that have become relevant in mainstream media. Despite the array of interpretations, many fail…
