Subconscious methods of design.

Though this may not directly link to my project I thought that it displays clearly how the 'enjoyment' side of the subconscious can play into our likes and dislikes.
And how the subconscious can simply be described as our pure instinct and reaction to situations and experiences.

'simply the forms which instincts assume' - Carl Jung, Archetype Theory.

As much as the displays are interesting I still never find myself compelled to go into the store and buy anything. Why is that?
Of course the displays make this brand unique and individual in its approach to gaining the consumers attention but does it actually draw people into the store? Oe merely a ply to make the consumer remember the brand?

What caught my attention on this webpage was the space layout of the designs. Many though with few objects of attention still expressed exactly what the brand wanted and showcased their products clearly and beautifully.

Future employer?..I hope.

Can I hope to be here one day? Or maybe freelance. This is the type of work I'm aiming for. Displays and Exhibitions within its own small space. The art of window displays comes into its own!

a little late.

I know its been a long while since my last post in fact a month. However i have been keeping up to date, in that i have been keeping my sketchbook up to date. I have found while doing this project that keeping records and collecting research physically helps me to better collate my work whereas documenting it online proves a little more than unsuccessful.

I know it shouldn't be an excuse and I'm not making it one. But I suppose I'm trying to make sense of it all and use it as an insight as to how i work. But i do see a problem ahead, we are at an age where everything we do is documented electronically. So the question is...will my work method and I be able to keep up?
