Comments: The goal of this display was to announce the Easter holiday in a dramatic fashion. The idea was to stimulate early impulse sales of Easter toys, candy and supplies. The bright colors, moving parts, pre-recorded sounds and inflated blimp were all designed to attract attention.

Comments: The unique structure of this design brought together three different trays of items that could be assembled as one floor display, or could be broken up into individual shelf or counter units.

Comments: This larger-than-life fireplace with character icons in motion required minimal floor space yet realistically provided brand identity. Only one motor is required to move all the different characters.
