Inspiration on Display

If you had a shopping spree at any store, what store would you choose?  Tough question, I know.  The stores you frequent gives insight to the style you're attracted to, so use it to your advantage!  Grab your camera, put on comfy shoes, and get shopping!  Wander around the store paying particular attention to what makes you go "Ooh!" and "Ahh!" and snap a pic.  

When you get home, look at what you've captured.  Did you gravitate towards an industrial-style table with cool galvanized steel accents and warm-colored linens?  Or did the display of dark wood, cool white cable-knits, and gleaming glass accents catch your eye?  The design of store displays are carefully thought out and coordinated to make it pleasing to the eye, so take notice.

Colors of Emotion Part II - Inspiration Boards

We put together a couple color-inspired boards for you to check out.  As you look at them take note of which colors speak to you.  Do the blues soothe your anxious nature?  Do the reds evoke your passionate side?  Or does the happiness of the yellow remind you of warm sun and cool breezes?  Make a note in your design journal of which colors caught your eye first and which kept your attention.  


Enjoy!


Until Tomorrow,
