MODEL THE BANGLE STRUT STRUT STRUT

After hours upon hours upon days upon days, the final model of our Bon Bon Bangles Booth was born. It incorporates bright colors, creative design and a great logo for eye-catching appeal and intrigue for the young girl wanting her colorful fashion must have accessories! Come inside!






The ceiling can be seen below...



The larger scale of the display system can be seen below...



And that is how our group developed the Bon Bon Bangles Booth!

Model? Model? Model? There!

After the first model we went back to the drafting board, literally, and came up with some different designs to continue on with our booth display. We came up with a few ideas, spanning back to the idea of girls bangles.


The second model looked like this...




But after critiquing this model it became apparent that a circular shaped booth would be better situated for the design, and so we instituted model number three...


This model gave us the circular shape, but problems developed during critiques along the lines of accessibility issues as well as theft and customer service. The size of the desk also came into concern along with the other issues. 

Our last model ended up looking something like this...seen below...




This model took care of accessibility issues as well as the way that the employee can interact with the customers entering the store. Since the customer can only access the bangles from the inside of the store, theft is now much more preventable. 

The Bangle Booth Intro

Bouncing off of the ideas seen in candy stores we decided to incorporate the use of straws and a checkered floor into our first model display which can be seen below...



We included a desk as well. The process behind us painting the straws and working on the craft of the model can be seen below...




Eventually all the laborious work demonstrated here will become finalized into an amazing final booth!

Juicy Juicy Juice

After visiting Dylan's Candy Bar, I figured visiting another store that uses candy in interesting ways would be a good place to visit. Especially since we are selling bangles. So I decided to visit the Juicy store in Georgetown. I asked a sales associate about the backstory of the special touches to the store. And she described it to me as a way to add some feminine touches to the rustic lodges that the owner's husbands wanted to keep. Here are some of the pictures I took during my visit...




These photos also helped in our design process. As well as learning about the design process behind the store's appearance. 

Ideas for Delicious Design

After visiting NYC. I made a stop at Dylan's Candy Bar to come up with some design ideas for our bangle store. Pictures seen below made me start thinking about what we could do to make an amazing store. Unfortunately I was not able to take all my pictures alone, since the store would not allow stand alone pictures to be taken. Actors were placed into the scenes to allow for the picture taking process to take place...











All the pictures seen above were able to help the group in our thought process of how to proceed with designing our booth. The bright colors also were a great source of inspiration.
