Windows On Wednesdays

And here's another new category for my blog! I have always noticed window display designs before looking at the name of the store. I pay particular attention to the art, illustrations, typographic treatments involved and overall composition of the elements. Some use modern technology such as big massive screens showing for example a video of the collection and others integrate interactive technology to engage passersby eventually enticing them to come in and shop.
To me, a window display is like a window to another world. As a designer, it's an opportunity to create a fantasy world with some drama perhaps. My all-time favorite are those by Liberty of London. They are by far the most creative, artistic, very inspiring and fall perfectly in line with the Liberty brand. I hope they plan to come to Dubai. I would gladly design their displays (big smiley)!

This Bloomies window at the Dubai Mall reminds me of Avatar

Strong vibrant colours are in line with the s/s 2011 collections

Interesting typographic treatment

The posters have a vintage feel to them and are in line with the 1969 campaign

Cool idea using a screen to showcase the Desigual collection to passersby

Sensory overload is part of the Desigual brand

Another example of blown-up typography
