This design “in the wild” focuses on a Hyaluronic Acid topical formula that can be applied to the face. I chose this design because of how strikingly simple it is – the entirety of the product’s packaging follows a black and white color scheme, and the chosen fonts couple with that simplicity nicely.

This “design in the wild” photo was taken last spring during my semester abroad in Florence, Italy. This simple “no entry ” sign was affixed with an interesting graphic sticker of a spilled wine glass, and for obvious reasons, it caught my eye. I love this “wild design” for many reasons; the first being the…
This past year I have been taking Foreign Language Japanese here at NCSU. We use these textbooks to learn and practice Japanese.

On my recent trip to California, I visited Muir woods and saw this poster and knew I had to have it. This poster immediately drew my attention because of it’s simplistic yet beautiful design.

Whenever I took this photograph I knew it would be a perfect picture to use for the wild design assignment. I took this when I was in New York as I was walking down the street with some of my friends. All of us stopped and snapped a picture of it, looking like major tourists,…
I do not purchase books often, but when I do, I chose which cover grabs my attention first. Walking through Barnes & Noble, this particular book caught my eye for its gory title and intriguing cover. I grew up watching The Wizard of Oz, so I was shocked to pick up this book titled Dorothy…
Over the past year or so, Black Widow has become one of my favorite comic book characters. Part of why is because of the beautiful art done by Phil Noto in his run of the comic. Noto’s style has a certain painterly quality rather than the traditional style that is associated with comic book art.…

I found this poster to be especially appealing due to both its faithful recreation of the original work, and its cleverness in creating a corporate identity that utilizes humor as part of its…
