New Display Ideas

The time has reached to start the display ideas for the new Select Salvation Army store! My first idea was to suspend used paint buckets stained w/ the red paint on the inside and have them pouring out red scarves onto the red shoes that are suspended from the ceiling. Under neath the shoes paint buckets and reflective crystals a mannequin dressed in red holding some scarves sits underneath.



My second idea stemmed from Josie and Denise's blogs. I chose to keep this display neutral so you can add various colors depending on the changing seasons. A neutral dress will be placed on the mannequin which sits on top of cinder blocks stacked in a pyramid below. Pebbles and glass stones are scattered around the bottom of the display reflecting the light and bringing focus onto the floor so the display is read from top to bottom. In back a shear curtain is hung creating a separating element from the window and the store. Crystals are also suspended from the ceiling catching the light and reflecting it onto the display.

My third idea is for the child's section. It is more of an interaction piece. I created a wheel displaying the shoes for our marketing project. While the parent shops for the child, the kids need something to do. I thought it would be fun to create this spinning wheel of red dipped shoes. Kids can touch and play with the model while keeping entertained. The model can be made out of MDF board painted white, or plywood. It will also be at the child's reach supporting their needs.


My last idea plays off of my first. It is to keep the shoes in the design however, being tied to the scarves. Giving the effect of the shoes being poured out of the bucket, or the color saturating the shoe.
