Mornin. Wilder and I went to Downtown Disney the other day. It was fun. We took lots of pics. It was a good break from rehearsal.
One of the stores I particularly enjoyed was the Lego Store. This one felt very open and brightly lit with a higher color temperature. Most of the other stores that were this bright and cool didn’t’ have the same appeal to me. The reason I think it works for this store is because the yellow bounces back so much and makes the store feel very lively and playful. I haven’t really thought of how architecture would affect architectural lighting before.
The Sprinkles store was sort of a let down. It was the exact opposite of lights to be bright. There was no sugary lust. It felt like the store was closed when I first saw it. It makes sense why the place was nearly empty inside. I would imagine a candy store like this to be more lively and open. Even the name of the store would suggest a colorful array of sprinkles dotting the entrance, luring customers in. It also did not help that the surrounding stores had very bright exteriors.
The Salt and Straw was definitely my favorite. The repeating texture on the wall felt very familiar as either a waffle cone or a pattern on an old cozy house. It was bright and really drew people in. The fixtures on top were shaped like ice cream cones were a very nice touch. The entire store was very cohesive and made sense everywhere.
Nice insightful comments on the stores and agreed about Sprinkles, You missed part of the assignment - you commented on 3 stores rather than 2 stores and an overall pic of the area outside the stores. I am taking a .5 point off for that so you will receive 1.5 out of 2.
