A large scale window display designed by Isabella Laugen, Victoria Alvarez, and myself.

The inspiration for this window was a small kiosk in the lobby of the Museum of the Dog. This attraction takes a picture of you and basedon this, it tells you what breed of dog that resembles you the most. The window itself represents the exact reflection between human beings and dogs. When you look into the mirror you see yourself but in dog form. The background for the display helped the window become a story teller within itself, providing the viewer with a dynamic scene with enough room for imagination.

The design of the window features a mannequin on one half, sitting on a small poof chair and gazing sideways towards the viewer. The room she sits in is filled with trunks and accessory boxes along with an arrangement of old royal paintings hanging on the wall. On the opposite side sits alittle yellow dog resting in the same position, mimicking the mannequin. Everything from the human side is exactly replicated into what seems like an alternate reality of dogs.

A small scale window to display the Yes To Cotton facial cleanser and face mask.

For this design, the plan was to resort down to the basics of the brand. The cotton line of the Yes To company is known for stripping down the ingredients that are harmful and focusing on easing sensitive skin. With cotton being the prominent component of the product, the main idea for the cotton ball mountain was meant to embody the wholesome nature of the ingredient. This mountain is topped by faux cotton with leaves, as if just freshly picked. These two elements together hold the two face productsat the center of the window. From a wire grid above the window box hangs several glass bubbles adding to the sense of cleanliness that these products give you. The exterior vinyl outlines the display with the silhouette of a woman with a messy bun, pushing the connection between the face products and the viewer.
