Holiday Savings

Von Maur. College Hills Mall. Normal, IL.

I again really liked this type of display inside of Von Maur. It is showing the promotion of the store, while bringing in the holiday spirit with having presents and a festive, warm outfit. It is it's own display. The outfit all goes together while the savings show what is going on that day in Von Maur.

Von Maur

Von Maur. College Hills Mall. Normal, IL.

Right when I walked into Von Maur I saw that pretty Christmas tree with the display next to it. Even though it's not a window display, I still think they are doing a good job at merchandising their products. It's putting a story in with having the tree and the presents under the tree. They give you the entire ensemble of the outfit that people will wear on Christmas. The folded socks, the jewelry, and the boots on the table helps bring all this display together. The sweaters were right around this display and many more. It has great unity even though it is not technically a window display.

White House Black Market

White House Black Market. Oakbrook Mall. Oakbrook, IL.

I went with my mom to this store, because we had a coupon, and I had to take a picture because I really liked the tree and ornaments with the window display theme. Proportion is well done with the tree being tall and having the mannequin be put up a little taller than the rest. The clothes are very elegant and sophisticated so having a simple window display with White House Black Market looks perfect in it's own way.

The Loft

The Loft. College Hills Mall. Normal, IL.

I thought the Loft did a good job on their window display. Sometimes when I look at this store, it's just really plain and boring with no excitement in the window display. I feel as if when I see their displays, they don't bring me towards them to see what else they have. They could be more visual appealing. I understand that the Loft is more simple, but it still needs to bring some visually appealing window displays. I really liked the pillars or blocks to use to put folded scares and hats on these displays. The proportion is great with the picture in the background and having the trees be tall. It's not as balanced with symmetry as it could but, but it still looks nice.

Let's Holiday

Chico's. College Hills Mall. Normal, IL.

I think this is a nice window display, but I think it could be better. The big ornaments on the ground by the mannequins are nice, but i think having them hung around the mannequins will make the proportion of the window display look much better. I do like the different kinds of mannequin styles they have with some sitting, so it helps see the window watcher look at how the clothes stretch. The wreath doesn't make the background look any better than what it could be. The theme is all together with having jackets and ponchos but the background could be more festive and go alone with the color scheme perhaps.

Another Perfect Christmas

Bath and Body Works. College Hills Mall. Normal, IL.

Right when you walk in you see this beautiful display. I really liked it because it shows that the story goes along with the theme of the "Perfect Christmas." It almost goes up the top of the ceiling so it has great proportion. The rhythm is the same through the table with the products being placed on both sides of the tree and signage. It has the same Santa hats on the products like the green window display with the wreath. Unity is throughout the store which shows great merchandising.

Christmas Wreath Green

Bath and Body Works. College Hills Mall. Normal, IL.

Right after i looked at the window display on the left I went over to see the other display on the right and it is just as adorable as the other one! The theme with the green looks great. It brings unity to all the products and decorations that are in this window display. All the lotions, body sprays, and shampoos have the little Santa hats on each of them which is super cute. Again the proportion of the window is great with having different levels with the products and having lights and pictures around on the glass. The wreath takes up a big part as well.

Perfect Christmas

Bath and Body Works. College Hills Mall. Normal, IL.

I came here during the night, and this is the very first window display that caught my eye. The "Perfect Christmas" sign would light up. It was the cutest thing i have ever seen! This is such a great idea, because it makes you attracted to see what else is in the window display. After looking you see the soaps and lotions in the gift bags, which shows that people can buy gift bags for their loved ones. It uses great proportion of the window displays by having the lights around the window and the pine cone pictures on the glass in all four corners.

Namaste

OhmFit Activewear. Uptown Normal. Normal, IL.

I love how one of my peers created this window display! It looks so great and shows the holidays are coming. The proportion is so well done with the mannequin being on the shelf, having the streamers and lights, and the tree in the corner. The colors bring together the unity of the display. I love the gold sign and how the golds all look great together. This window brings forth the holiday spirit, but shows the holidays can be calm as well.

Francesca's Part 2

Francesca's. College Hills Mall. Normal, IL.

I also really liked the other window display for Francesca's. I really like the different levels of products in those little boxes that go along with the holidays. The jewelry, hats, and scarves also go with the mannequins in display as well. The theme is all together which brings in the unity of it all. The proportion is good with the snowflakes taking up spots in the window display and how the mannequins are pretty tall. Again, well done Francesca's.

Francesca's

Francesca's. College Hills Mall

Francesca's seems to always have such great window displays. They always use their proportion of the entire window display. The snowflakes makes the window look bigger. It has great balance and is symmetrical with having the 2 Christmas trees on both sides of the garments. I also really like there's a theme with the colors, which brings the unity of the entire window display together.
