One of Paul Sahre’s works that I will be talking about is his project titled “Spreadin’ the Luv.” This was a project that he made once and then brought back in 2017. This was created in collaboration with his deaf brother Greg Share who helped create the idea for the symbol while Paul took charge…
At the Cupcake Shoppe, in downtown Raleigh, there is this mural painted on the visible side of the wall.

For this assignment, I chose to talk about the design elements of the title sequence for the 2010 film ‘Yogi Bear.’ This movie is based on the 1960s cartoon ‘The Yogi Bear Show’ which followed two bears, Yogi Bear and Boo Boo, and a park ranger named Ranger Smith. One thing that is seen…
I was walking around Cameron Village, trying to convince myself that I did not need to buy another book from Barnes & Noble, when I looked up and saw this mural. The message is very simple and I find it very cute. The typography varies and and to me, appears round and soft. The different…
Since the late 1970s, an image of a rainbow or a rainbow color scheme has been near synonymous with the LGBTQ+ community.

While Shirley wrote the book, Milton did the illustrations and together they started publishing children’s books. “If Apples Had Teeth,” questions why things are the way that they are and how things could be absurdly different. As the book is meant…
Another one of Depero’s projects that really stood out to me was another theatrical artwork and it is called Mimismagia. This was a series of costume designs that were created in 1916 for a mimic-acrobatic ballet. “The costumes for Mimismagia were characterized by strange geometrical shapes that seemed to protrude from the body, turning the…
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…
