NYLA FOWLER

PRATT MUNSON COLLEGE OF ART AND DESIGN

Nyla Fowler is a prospective artist primarily raised in South Florida. She is pursuing a bachelor’s in Communications Design with a focus in Graphic Design. Nyla brings an enthusiastic approach to bringing illustrative elements into her design. She finds her inspiration through her Caribbean culture and interest in narrative storytelling. She often utilizes vivid colors while experimenting with different styles, maintaining a painterly touch.

Nyla has goals of taking her craft overseas to further her observation and educate kids in their early childhood during her free time. She wants to help those in need and create art that sticks with people. She is currently in the process of creating an art program that exhibits artists and helps fund the arts.

What first sparked your interest in graphic design?

I believe what first sparked my appreciation for graphic design, beyond aesthetics, was my History of Graphic Design class. Learning the different forms and languages that can go into graphic design and seeing all the different creative minds deepened my understanding of the art form and allowed me to truly fall in love with my craft.

Who are your biggest creative influences?

Illustrators such as Martin French, filmmakers such as Jordan Peele, and designers such as Shepard Fairey have a big influence on how I approach my work and research.

Tell us about a design project you’re most proud of. What made it special?

Most recently, I made a poster for my History of Graphic Design class inspired by the Punk movement. I feel this project turned a switch in my brain that truly tapped into the style and emotion I want to continue producing in my future works.
