Window Design Assignment




Winter Window Display





You have been given the opportunity to design 2 window displays during the winter season (think State Street Chicago at Macy's)
Develop a theme that encompasses the ideas of both windows.
Design 2 windows that showcase your theme on paper – window much be in color.
Write a total of 2 paragraphs explaining each window and how it fits into the “overall” theme.



Example – Overall Theme – Fairy Wonderland



Window 1 – Fairy who protects the gem Ruby. Everything in this window would be red so the ruby is hidden. Red poinsettias, big red packages, holly berries, the ferry would be dressed in red.



Window 2 – Fairy who protects the gem Emerald. Everything in this window would be green – pine trees, wreaths, etc. so the emerald is hidden.
