Wheel of colour

I was wandering around Woodgrove Shopping Center where I saw this window signage at Baby Gap.
This is a wonderful play on the colour wheels we are currently studying in our Colour Theory Class.  The imagery uses a pile of childrens clothing arranged in a manner that both symbolizes the broad selection of clothing and variants in colour available in their store. The typography (which I accidentally cropped) is very friendly and inviting adding to the overall warmth of the advertisement without being too cartoony or juvenile. I just love the playfulness of the use of colour, and the innovation used in the setup of the image.

  1. Cute! I love how it ties into our colour theory class - colour wheels definitely do attract attention. I think its also interesting to note that the colours the typography is on are contrasting colours - red and green. Normally these colours would remind me of Christmas, but with the colour wheel behind and the slight fade in the middle of the colours - it doesn't strike me as Christmas anymore! Really effective.

  3. I really like the colours! They're fun, perfect for the advertisement. The type really works too because the neutral gray used and how bold it is. I also liked the transparency on the glass that blurs the background.
