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…

Faliurism Manifesto, another one of Can Yang’s works done during her time at Rhode Island School of Design, displays her own manifesto where she drew inspiration from composer and artist John Cage’s work about creating spontaneous, random decisions. For her own work, she used the idea of failure in “how sometimes things that are unintended…
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…
Since the late 1970s, an image of a rainbow or a rainbow color scheme has been near synonymous with the LGBTQ+ community. Due to the incorporation of the rainbow on the Pride Flag which is often used to represent the community, the rainbow color scheme is a trope often used in media to indicate LGTBQ+…
I know that the popular phrase “don’t judge a book by its cover” is a sweet idea on how an individual shouldn’t judge the character or quality of writing based on appearance alone, but I argue that everything should be judged on its exterior because it is an indication of what they are really about.…
My last wild design post is going to be on my Anatomy and Physiology For Speech, Language, and Hearing textbook. This class is an anatomy class but instead of learning about how the whole body is set up and how it functions, we only learn about how speech is produced and how people are able…
Milton Glaser published “If Apples Had Teeth” with his wife Shirley Glaser in 1960.

One of Depero’s projects that first stood out to me was I balli plastici. This is a set design that was created in 1921. In 1917, Depero began to conceive of a Futurist ballet in which machine-like puppets would replace human actors and dancers. He felt that this would emphasize the Futurist ideals of technology…
Back in March 2017, Lauren Hom started a project known as Flour Crowns. On her website, she says that this project stemmed from her love for food and puns. The project can be best described as photographs of women wearing flour crowns, and yes you read that correctly, flour not flower. Hom says that as…

The mural features the phrase, “We’re…
The book I chose was Ancient Spanish Ballads: Historical and Romantic by John Gibson Lockhart (1842). My first visual impression was that this book is pristine and it looks like a luxury item. It is a breathtaking masterpiece of a book and it gave me chills just to look at it. Every inch of the…
When I first glanced at Gods’ Man, the cover gave me true 20’s vibes with its retro font type and abstract approach. The font specifically reminded me of something from the Great Gatsby, and the cover art first made me think of Aubrey Beardsley; an artist who was known for his significance in the Art…
Two women from the same knitting circle, with a shared passion for women’s rights, started the Pussyhat Project to solve both a need to stay warm during the Women’s March in Washington D.C., which occurred on January 21, 2017, and to create a sense of solidarity for those in attendance at the march…
Zap Comix are culturally significant in the underground comics era as a rebellion against the acts set in place by committees at the time that attempted to stifle creativity in an attempt to make mass media more family friendly.
