At one of  Las Vegas’s newest casinos, Crystals I stumbled upon Marni’s
window display. The window display of the store was playful as it represented an abstracted clothing line in a unique form displaying women’s clothing. While on Marni’s website, I came across a video for The Denim Project which was pretty fun as well.

On August 3, Post-it /3M celebrated their 30th anniversary and teamed with Publicolor on creating the National Student Design Contest. This contest challenged students in grades 6 to 12 to think about what will happen in their lives in 30 years and create a work of art. This billboard was made of multi-colored Post-it Super Sticky Notes and is located in  Grand Central Terminal’s Vanderbilt Hall in New York City.

Beijing Noodle No. 9 located in Caesars Palace Las Vegas caught my eye due to the walk through entrance flanked by gigantic fish tanks leading into a dinning area. The walls and ceiling have a clear cut out pattern which also drew me in. The restaurant space engages the customer on many levels. Dezeen has a more specific breakdown of Beijing Noodle No. 9′s restaurant space and design.

I was recently at Dylan’s Candy Bar which is reminiscent of Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory. It contains three floors of sweet treats and magical goodness. Dylan’s was created and owned by Dylan Lauren the daughter of designer Ralph Lauren. I love how the wall of the check out counter utilizes jumbo size candy such as gumballs, runts and sweedish fish.

This past weekend I attended the Thinking Creatively Conference at Kean University and heard Jon Kamen and James Spindler of @ radical.media speak. One of their many intriguing projects, The Johnny Cash Project was particularly interesting. It is a website where the user can pick a particular picture and draw over it creating a frame for the music video for one of the tunes. All of these frames are drawn over by different people all over the world and then compile as one and make one music video for which ever song was chosen.  Definitely check it out and be a part of the The Johnny Cash Project. Here is also some background of the project.
