I will be soon uploading the video work from this internship and will post a link shortly.  For now, here are some more pictures of physical artifacts for, Run for the Silent.

The Thread

I have some new images of my last and latest venture of my official time at my internship site.  As I previously stated, I would be working on redesigning theThread (theRock's book store).  It was decided that we would use pages of books to create a texture that would be used as a "theme" throughout the store.  We also cleaned out allot of the area and parred down what books would be displayed and which ones were not being sold or simply outdated or irrelevant. This allowed for the store to open up, be more organized, simple, and more professional. We also provided space to sell other merchandise such as shirts and gift items, that were previously not being displayed.  We also included a place to sit down and read or relax within the store itself. This was inspired by my trips to Barnes and Noble. Of course the size difference between them and our little store is quite large, so I really took inspiration from the smaller corners and spaces of their store.

Aside from the general display and signage, the biggest change is the creation of a main back wall and the placement of the counter space in front of this wall. This was the one move that really made this store actually look like a store.
