This sheet came wrapped around a lint roller. Although the design seems very simplistic, it helps with emphasizing the purpose of the product which is the lint roller. On top, is some basic writing telling you what the product is and towards the middle is a logo for Target’s “up & up” brand. Something that…
Tropes – defined as recognizable plot elements, themes, or visual cues that convey something in the arts – are all around us in our everyday life. There is one particular trope that has long been the face of America since she first made an appearance; the Statue of Liberty. In 1885, America was gifted the…
This Lavender Rose Bath and Body Works Soap label is so cool. The background is like an abstract painting. I like how they carried the lavender color not just on the background of the label but also in the art with the gold outlining the top to make it pop and look sophisticated. I like…
The trope that I chose for this assignment is the usage of the rainbow to represent gay pride for the LGBTQ+ community. While the rainbow flag is a common trope that represents gay pride, the rainbow colors itself have created its own trope that can be translated into gay rights and gay pride. The first…
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…
This body mist bottle is part of Ariana Grande’s perfume collection that I recently purchased. I liked the different shades of pink that the bottle included (cloudy, solid, and metallic) to divide the sections of the bottle between the cap, body (title of product), and end (product description). Additionally, I thought that the different colored…
A few nights ago, I found myself wandering around downtown Raleigh with a friend of mine after grabbing some drinks and a bite to eat. Although it was freezing cold, we took our time walking back to the car and had the chance to admire some of Raleigh’s unique art. This mural caught my eye…
I chose Maruchan Instant Lunch for my ‘wild design’ post this month. I chose this design because there’s a lot visual elements being incorporated onto such a small surface but it works well together. Maruchan is known for being the iconic instant ramen noodle company and majority of their labels visually are similar yet slightly…
The three Fates spinning the web of human destiny, sculpture by Gottfried Schadow, 1790, part of the tombstone for Count Alexander von der Mark; in the Old National Gallery, Berlin. The Fates, otherwise known as The Moirai, are a group of three sibling goddesses who are responsible for the individual destinies of mortals at birth.…
The Little Dutch Boy image is an example of a trope, a figurative use of a word, expression, or image, that has been used over time and become part of American pop culture. The original story of the Little Dutch Boy was created by the author Mary Mapes Dodge in 1865 in her book…
I found this poster the first day I moved into Mackenzie Hall in Wolf Village at the beginning of January. I was quite upset leaving my country, but this design just simply lit up my mood. I recognized that the welcome line “To Mackenzie, You are Welcome” was written in Yoda’s form of speaking. This…
I had cracked my iPhone screen and had it fixed at uBreakiFix and this was the main advertising display inside their store. I thought the color scheme was very saturated in NCSU red! The color drew my attention to it as soon as I walked in the door. It took a couple closer looks to…
A trope is an image used within the media often enough to be recognized in different settings. Tropes often can have an underlying message or can be used to project a specific stereotype to their audience. For this assignment, I wanted to use a product that has been around for many years and has evolved…
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…
The product I selected for this assignment is an on/go covid test. I thought that since this product is simply a covid-19 rapid test, the design on the package would be lackluster. Instead, I found myself interested in how much I liked the packaging design for this product. The contrast between the blue and yellow…
