Display and Design Ideas

The world of display and design facinates me as it is really an illusionist world at times. A good "display artist" is also a magician!
Today I happened upon DDI.com, which makes me think I really need to get out more and see what is happening. If you want your creative juices flowing this site! I particularly enjoyed the Project Gallery and Diva Blog.

Website Description of DDI:
"Keep up with retail design ideas with DDI. Display and Design Magazine is #1 retail market resource to designing a successful store. From architectural lighting to unique store displays, DDI highlights the retail design ideas that other retailers are utilizing to create a profitable retail store environment. Month after month, DDI showcases different retail store designs that reflect a variety of industries from fashion to food, necessities to accessories and everything in between."


As a redesigner I would repurpose what the client owned to give the area a fresh new look. As a merchandiser I sometimes took pictures before I was nearly done with the display because it was like having a fresh eye. It was easier to see what worked and what did not work. Does that make sense? As small and medium business owners it is essential to reuse and make do many times.
