Diesel store Philadelphia

The Diesel store in Philly has this weird new window display, usually their displays are rather innocuous but I walked by yesterday and out of the corner of my eye I saw this dude sitting there with his hands out like he was begging and I was like WTF? Then I looked closer and realized that he was a screenprinted rag doll of some sort but his facial expression and skinny body just made the whole thing rather bizarre looking, kinda reminds me of Christian Bale in The Machinist.



The girl one isn't nearly as terrifying, and I guess they should be congratulated for not using mannequins like every other store on the block, the whole thing is definitely weird and eye catching.

Anthropologie Philadelphia & Joan Shepp

Anthropologie's latest window visual, honeycomb! The lighting is really cool at night.



Joan Shepp has this awesome shoe display, I need to get some new shoes so bad! Pay day today I think :O! I've never actually been in this store because I could never afford anything in there but their visual merchandising is always pretty eye catching.

WPA Posters

I'm doing some research for work, the project I'm working on is a flash piece which plays a snippet of FDR's speech regarding creating jobs. I was looking for some WPA posters for some art inspiration for the piece and I found these awesome examples on flickr, all uploaded by Banjohead except for the last one uploaded by wnyc. Click to enlarge.





These have such great composition and use of negative space, line and type.
