My next Wild Design Post is going to be on a Sol de Janeiro body cream. Unlike most fragrance body creams today, this particular one is in a tub like container which is smart advertising considering it stands out compared to all of the other body creams in the plastic tubes. When shopping, customers tend…
I found this wild design while I was visiting my brother in Charlotte, North Carolina a couple of weeks ago. I chose this design to show off because I believe it means a lot especially during the pandemic of Coronavirus that we are all dealing with. I believe the artist of this graffiti made this…
Hazy Little Thing, an American IPA hailing from Sierra Nevada Brewing Company, caught my eye right off the bat in my pursuits of design “in the wild.” Believe it or not, the design on this beverage’s can is actually the reason I decided to try it in the first place. I was attracted to the…
My parents have this record wall in our dining room, and when I was thinking of how I could find “design in the wild” while self isolated, this record wall was the first place I looked. For this assignment, I chose Billy Joel’s album Streetlife Serenade because I have always liked it’s uniqueness, and because I felt…
When I lived in New York City last summer, street art was everywhere. Honestly, in every major city street art is everywhere. On my street corner, one of the first things I noticed in my quiet Brooklyn neighborhood (yes, celebrities like Sarah Jessica Parker, Adam Driver, Maggie Gyllenhaal, lived in my neighborhood!!) was a spray…
This was one of the first pieces of street art I’ve ever seen. I first saw it summer of 2018 when I was in Montreal. As you can see, the art has a very nice, yet shocking meaning. At first glance, you’re like huh, that’s rude. But then, when you read it again you realize…
I chose this wild design because I fell in love with this clock the moment I saw it at the store. It is very simple yet elegant with a rustic feel about it. I just noticed that the background of the continents is a mess of postcards with stamps. This gives it a very homey…
For my wild design I decided to do B&W coffee roasters out of Wake Forest, NC. I recently bought one of their year-round roasts and really enjoyed the packaging and the design they have incorporated into their coffee beans. As their name implies, B&W takes a very simple approach to their design, making the bags…
Silvermont Mansion in Brevard, NC, is known for its free, year-round recreational activities available to people of all ages. The members of the board host festivals and events during major holidays, a playground was constructed within the last two years, and public tennis and basketball courts are available to all. The sign shown to…
The new ‘stay-at-home’ order has heavily influenced everyone’s daily lives; including school, sports, and even things like doctors visits. While I was wandering around the house I noticed my mom using a device on her neck, and to my curiosity, I had to ask what it was. This device, strangely shaped, was given to her…
Harumi Yamaguchi was born in 1941 in Matsue in the Shimane prefecture of Japan. She graduated from Tokyo University of the Arts where she trained as an oil painter. Yamaguchi began her career as a freelance illustrator as the director of advertising for the renowned retail establishment PARCO in Tokyo. Yamaguchi contradicted cultural taboos and…
I decided to dive deeper into the design of the packaging for my Google Home Mini. When trying to decide on what I was going to complete my Wild Design on, for some reason this simplistic packaging caught my eye. I thought this would be interesting to analyze because it is such a simplistic design…
Andy Mineo is one of my favorite rappers, and I enjoy listening to his 2019 project Work in Progress. As I looked through Mineo’s Instagram, I found Marcus Thomas, the artist who created the visuals for Work in Progress. On Thomas’ Instagram, I found the art for a song on the album entitled I DON’T…
I heard of Jericó Delayah, an illustrator based out of Barcelona, Spain, from one of my favorite rap artists, Andy Mineo. Delayah created the visual world for some of Mineo’s albums such as The Arrow, and I really enjoyed his work on those projects. So I looked up Delayah’s Instagram, and I found a beautiful…
Recently, (before COVID-19 quarantined all of us) I had the amazing opportunity to go to the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. This piece of artwork was by far my favorite. The exhibit was simple, consisting of dioramas of houses. Before reading the description of the piece, it could be very easily overlooked…
