Fall is also known to housing Halloween in October. Due to these events, the Display Windows start to change and advertise for this. Featured in each window is an extreme use of season coloring. Dark colors such as black, orange, and blue are used. These colors work together in harmony to set a darker tone that is known to sit around fall. The two most common Halloween colors such as orange and black are used in each display to draw and remind buyers of the upcoming holiday. Also due to the holiday of Halloween, different forms of art and decoration are used to set an erie tone. Whether it is the illuminated faces on the all black display, or the texture of spider webs with creepy dolls, all art sets a scary tone and reminds costumers to buy for Halloween and fall. The displays use such a pertaining color to the season and holiday that anyone walking by is automatically drawn to the dark artwork. ]]> 2018-06-05 21:22:17 UTC https://padlet.com/dabusch/ksstohga6zzf/wish/265743451 dabusch https://padlet.com/dabusch/ksstohga6zzf/wish/265743507 2018-06-05 21:22:44 UTC https://padlet.com/dabusch/ksstohga6zzf/wish/265743507 dabusch https://padlet.com/dabusch/ksstohga6zzf/wish/265743631 2018-06-05 21:23:38 UTC https://padlet.com/dabusch/ksstohga6zzf/wish/265743631 dabusch https://padlet.com/dabusch/ksstohga6zzf/wish/265743740 2018-06-05 21:24:31 UTC https://padlet.com/dabusch/ksstohga6zzf/wish/265743740 dabusch https://padlet.com/dabusch/ksstohga6zzf/wish/265743828 Christmas is seen as one of the happiest times of the year. It is also the biggest holiday for capitalism. It is a business’s job during the winter season to create window displays that are visually inviting to buyers and put them in the holiday spirit for the amounts of shopping needed to be done. Christmas lights are bright and automatically draw your eye to them. By having lights around displays a buyer will automatically look at the display meaning they will be looking directly at the advertisement. By having lights and Christmas decorations a unity and story is created. Buyers will want to look at the windows so see that story and see things that remind them of the holiday they love. Again like in the fall, color is used in winter window displays as well. White is one of the main colors used which represents innocence and goodness. At Christmas time innocence is a main characteristic regarding the myth of Santa Clause and the magic of Christmas. Other common Christmas colors such as red and green are also used in displays. The Macy’s in New York City is the biggest Macy’s in the world and each winter season they do a huge window display for the holiday season. People from all over the world come into that specific Macy’s just based on their winter window displays alone. ]]> 2018-06-05 21:25:08 UTC https://padlet.com/dabusch/ksstohga6zzf/wish/265743828 dabusch https://padlet.com/dabusch/ksstohga6zzf/wish/265743917 2018-06-05 21:25:39 UTC https://padlet.com/dabusch/ksstohga6zzf/wish/265743917 dabusch https://padlet.com/dabusch/ksstohga6zzf/wish/265744017 2018-06-05 21:26:18 UTC https://padlet.com/dabusch/ksstohga6zzf/wish/265744017 dabusch https://padlet.com/dabusch/ksstohga6zzf/wish/265744074 2018-06-05 21:26:48 UTC https://padlet.com/dabusch/ksstohga6zzf/wish/265744074 dabusch https://padlet.com/dabusch/ksstohga6zzf/wish/265744140 Winter always ends up dragging for way too long then it should. Winter in New York is cold and dark and by March everyone is craving spring. For advertisers in New York, bright colors is the main way to do this. Colors such as pinks, greens, blues and yellows are used to draw attention to the windows. Also bright colors, especially yellow are known for creating a happy feeling and uplifting feeling. A symbol most associated with spring is flowers. Flowers are a key reminder of spring and the warmth and color associated with it. The variety in flower arrangements immediately draw attention due to the different textures and patterns. Bee’s are almost commonly associated with spring so seeing art of oversized bee’s in a vibrant yellow color will draw ones eye to the store. Seeing flowers and bright colors remind buyers of the warmth and change that is soon coming and that they need a change too with new products from their store. ]]> 2018-06-05 21:27:15 UTC https://padlet.com/dabusch/ksstohga6zzf/wish/265744140 dabusch https://padlet.com/dabusch/ksstohga6zzf/wish/265744490 2018-06-05 21:29:16 UTC https://padlet.com/dabusch/ksstohga6zzf/wish/265744490 dabusch https://padlet.com/dabusch/ksstohga6zzf/wish/265744621 2018-06-05 21:30:17 UTC https://padlet.com/dabusch/ksstohga6zzf/wish/265744621 dabusch https://padlet.com/dabusch/ksstohga6zzf/wish/265744863 2018-06-05 21:31:59 UTC https://padlet.com/dabusch/ksstohga6zzf/wish/265744863 dabusch https://padlet.com/dabusch/ksstohga6zzf/wish/265744875 Summer is the brightest and warmest season and adversisers want buyers to remember that.

The more interesting the window display the more likely a person will go into the store.
