Attention PaysCrash Course in Creativity

This store draws you in because of it’s displays…

The door wasn’t open….

This made me feel unwelcomed.

The sign lettering was slightly

smaller than the door’s width. It

was in this font…

This tells me that this is a FANCY store.

EnvironmentThe store has mostly dark and light shades of brown… which made me feel very relaxed.

They have tile floors that make the store very cool.

Their ceiling is high, but easily reached when standing on a stool… which makes the store seem big even though it isn’t really.

The store is brightly lit in the center to showcase the items on the center tables.

There was a mellow tune playing, which matched the environment perfectly.

The cash register is immediately to the right of the door when entering.

I (personally) didn’t want to stay long; But many other people were spending a lot of time there.

The environment was very high-class. It mirrored the prices of the items.
