Shop Visit

After today's crazy antics we decided to go straight to the shop to save time and to get a head start. When we were there we had a look at the outside, it was nice, but it did lack in creativity. The composition was not so good and it gave us a better idea of the task we were given. We took measurements of the windows and took note of things which may pose problems e.g posters, signs hung on the windows and toys which must be displayed in the window. We went inside the shop to firther extend out knowledge on what kind of products the shop was selling to have a better idea of how to show and bring people into the shop. The toys ranged from baby to around a young teenager and they were all out of high quality. There were also some instruments so there would be any educational value in toys.


Later we decided to go into Manchester, check out some shop window displays and take inspiration from the creativity in the windows. Also we looked online at some more 'out there' kind of shop displays aswell, which would perhaps leade us toward an idea for an event that we also had to hold at the shop. A workshop day for the children.


Toys & Tales:









Sorry some of them are sideways but they were taken on a phone so not much i could do!


Manchester:















I know they're not from toy shops, but the ideas and themes are useful, even though we're told to stay away from seasonal themes, it does help.
