Franklin Square Identity

I designed the identity for a friend who owns a shop in Philly called Franklin Square. She is a really amazingly talented fashion designer who one day started to make jewelry and you know what she is also amazing at that. She has a bit of the Midas touch. Her store is really lovely and I finally got to see it  in person recently. I am so proud to have my designs on her window.

Inventive

Date unknown

Overstocked with a large supply of men’s spring and winter coats, a clothier in Copenhagen, Denmark, adopted an inventive sale approach. He erected a scaffolding around his store and completely covered it from roof to sidewalk with more than a thousand overcoats. The display attracted prospective customers in such droves that police were summoned. Although the police ordered the proprietor to remove the display, he succeeded in selling all the overcoats.

Frankfurt in February- Ambiente Gift Show

  

  

My first work trip abroad. The Ambiente show is a gift show in Frankfurt, Germany showcasing all the new trends in home, stationary, gift, kitchen, pretty much anything you could think of. It was very enlightening and exciting to go on a trip abroad by myself. It was cold and a bit lonely to eat by myself but the show really showed me upcoming trends and amazing new pastry. I spent my downtime in a cafe near my hotel in the heart of the red light district. The subway is interesting too. I suppose because of the inclimate weather they developed a little city down there with cafe's, banks, even pizza vending machines.
