Store Design Project
In this project, we were to create our store and completely design it in the program Space Planning. I chose to create a wine bar concept called "Cork Screwed". This wine bar features moody dark walls and bars, leather seats and couches, velvet club chairs, and eccentric artwork. The floors are terracotta tiles, sourced from Lowes, so it is aesthetic and easy to clean for employees. I combined styles of Spanish Tapas, coffee shops, and Irish pubs to create this spunky place for customers to hang out and rewind. I referred to brands such as Anthropology, S&S Activewear, and Packed Party for the fixtures' photos. I also used my screen printing proof knowledge to design merchandise for my store. This project taught me the logistics of a store layout and how to think about what a customer would want in this retail space.
