Gift of AIGA, 2007.4756

Motivated by a desire to make people’s lives safer, graphic designer Deborah Adler designed a comprehensive system for packaging prescription medicine when she was still a student at New York’s School of Visual Arts. In 2004, Adler brought this innovation to Target, and together with Klaus Rosburg they developed the ClearRx system. The results were a redesigned bottle, easy-to-read labels, color-coded rings, a removable information card, and new warning icons.
