1.  The graphic pictures on the top of the walls direct you towards this particular brand of candles.

 

2.  This wall is about scented candles, but the theme seems to be different paradise or islands, which is appropriate for the summer season, due to customers wanting to experience the tropical island feeling.

 

3.  Scented candles and scented candle accessories from the Yankee candle brand are the products showcased on this wall.

 

4. There are metal shelves, and there is sinage and pricing. 

 

5.  Yes in each one of the separate areas of the Yankee candle wall, it seams that the candles match the island feeling.  they use a lot of greens, blues, earth tones, dusty colors like sand, and some jewel tones, sun sets colors.  The names of the candles most likely match the inpriration for the candles.

This fixture is  a library style wall display from Pier One. When I entered the store I immediately noticed high banners that guided me to the wall. Most all of these banners were sale and clearance signs. One can aslo see a small sale banner attached to this wall display. The theme of this wall is that everything is airmatic. Candles, sprays and oils are all things that will  fragrant one's home. The color story is attractive, for the colors are in a ROYGBIV order.

For my dress materials I will be using bras traps. I want to stay if possible with just two colors that will be white and pink. I already have the sketch for the dress and I'm very exited to see who is going to turn out.

This window display it is sure to get everyone's attention. It has a dark red background color and neon lights to accentuate the display. In my opinion this window display was made for the month of February maybe for valentine's day. It has a short and cute phrase in the center and the heart neckless to the right. I also like the fact that since its a really nice window display customers will probably stop and look to see what the display is about. 

TuMi : Paper Plates

For my project in Visual Merchandising I will use paper plates.  The original colors that I wanted to use was green and pink, but since I do not have enough green plates, I will change my colors to yellow and light pink as shown on the pictures below.  The yellow will be the color of my dress, and the light pink will be bows on the dress.  Can't wait to see how it will turn out!

 I have been busy collecting the materials that I will need to construct my bottle cap dress and the accompanying props. I already have, for what I believe is enough bottle caps to finish my dress. Thank you to all of my friends at Rusty's that help me acquire so many bottle caps. As for the aluminum cans, I definitely need to collect more. Yet, I have a few weeks since I plan on constructing my garment first. Not only have I been gathering caps and cans, but trying to figure out the best way to connect the bottle caps. So far I have tried using wire that I cut into equal strips and tied the caps together, after drilling four holes into them. I was not happy with the flexibility factor, so this week I tried using a chain. As the picture shows, it creates a great uniformity and it is flexible, but I was hoping to have the bottle caps closer. Next, I plan on using fishing line to connect the caps with the hopes of the best outcome so far.

 This outfit is for a fun summer day on the weekend. The top is a great pop of color, and its puffed shoulders make a confident statement. I paired it will a classic cut white shorts to keep a fresh feel. The accessories are all black and white including the shoes. The shoes are adorned with flowers on top which continue the summer theme. All of the accessories also carry  geometric shapes which carry well with the structure on the shirt.
