2. Example
One
Shop
or
Retail
Outlet:
Ted
Baker
1. Name
the
lights
used
to
achieve
the
overall
appearance
/
atmosphere
The
lighting
used
in
Ted
Baker
was
made
up
using
a
mix
of
generic
lighting,
Pin
Spots
and
custom
made
blown
glass
lampshades.
This
would
have
been
done
to
make
the
shop
bright
however
highlighting
clothing
within
the
shop.
With
the
Pin
Spots
creating
a
narrow,
however
bright
beam
that
ensured
that
they
covered
a
single
item,
made
that
item
stand
out
next
to
another.
The
generic
lighting,
which
the
custom
lampshades
were
part
of
allowed
‘the
audience’
or
the
customers
to
find
there
way
around
the
shop
easily.
In
my
opinion
this
lighting
design
really
worked
for
the
shop,
as
it
was
bright,
however
still
had
highlighted
displays.
2. Discuss
the
mood
and
atmosphere
created
(including
the
use
of
colour
/
semiotics)
The
atmosphere
in
Ted
Baker
was
portrayed
to
be
sophisticated.
This
was
done
in
many
ways
one
of
them
being
the
lighting
design.
This
was
because
of
the
blown
glass
generic
lighting.
However
this
was
not
due
to
the
effects
the
light,
however
it
was
due
to
the
aesthetic
feel
that
the
lights
gave
off.
The
colours
in
Ted
Baker
also
changed
the
atmosphere
that
was
created.
This
was
down
to
the
colour
and
their
connotations.
Red,
black
and
browns
are
used
in
Ted
Baker.
These
colours
all
signify
wealth
and
passion.
The
blacks
and
brows
also
give
connotations
of
a
vintage
feel,
which
flows
with
the
theme
of
the
shop
and
their
style
of
clothing.
3. Discuss
specials
&
effects
(e.g.
lamp
shades,
lights
on
flex
etc)
The
generic
lighting
in
Ted
Baker
was
made
up
of
custom
made
lampshades,
which
were
connected
by
lengths
of
wire
that
ran
throughout
the
shop.
In
the
windows
of
the
shop
Pin
spots
were
used
with
barn
doors
on
to
highlight
items
that
were
on
a
raised
platform.
This
made
the
shop
window
look
professional
and
unique.
Which
is
key
and
a
large
shopping
center,
which
have
to
stand
out
from
lots
of
other
shops.

3. Example
Two
Shop
or
Retail
Outlet:
All
Saints
1. Name
the
lights
used
to
achieve
the
overall
appearance
/
atmosphere
All
Saints
used
little
to
no
generic
lighting
and
used
lots
of
fresnels
the
highlight
different
parts
of
the
shop.
This
was
key
in
generating
the
overall
atmosphere,
following
the
design
and
feel
of
the
store.
The
fresnels
in
the
store
were
on
a
generic
lighting
rig
to
generate
the
rustic
atmosphere
the
store
was
going
for,
in
its
‘set’
design.
2. Discuss
the
mood
and
atmosphere
created
(including
the
use
of
colour
/
semiotics)
The
overall
atmosphere
created
was
a
rustic,
vintage
and
simply
classic
design,
which
ran
through
the
entire
store.
This
is
key
as
it
portrayed
the
style
of
clothing
the
store
sold.
The
colours
in
the
store
were
monotone
(black
and
white)
this
generated
a
theme.
The
colours
signify
purity
and
cleanliness.
Which
are
positive
connotations
on
the
store.
3. Discuss
specials
&
effects
(e.g.
lamp
shades,
lights
on
flex
etc)
Fresnels
with
barn
doors
are
used
not
only
to
light
specific
items
but
also
for
the
aesthetic
feel
within
the
shop.

4. Example

Shop
or

Asylum
1. Name
the
lights
used
to
achieve
the
overall
appearance
/
atmosphere
Fluorescent
lighting
tubes,
pin
spots
and
generic
lighting
were
all

to
light
this
store.
The
fluorescent
lighting
tubes
were
used
to
highlight
different
parts
of
the
store
hanging
on
different
angles
to
create
edgy
unique
feel
to
the
store,
which
is
key
in
generating
the
right
target
audience.
Pin
spots
were
again
used
to
highlight
different
items
within
the
store.
This
was
done
to
draw
your
attention
to
these
pieces.
Generic
lighting
was
also
used
to
highlight
pathways
around
the
shop.
2. Discuss
the
mood
and
atmosphere
created
(including
the
use
of
colour
/
semiotics)
Bright
neon
colours
we
used
to
create
the
youth
vibe,
which
was
the
stores,
target
audience.
The
bright
neon
colours
also
create
a
club
atmosphere,
which
also
helped
to
aim
at
the
stores
target
audience.
The
stores
bright
colours
create
a
welcoming
atmosphere
for
any
member
of
the
public
the
passes
the
shop,
whether
they
be
young
or
old.
3. Discuss
specials
&
effects
(e.g.
lamp
shades,
lights
on
flex
etc)
In
the
store
they
used
fluorescent
lighting
tubes
in
pallets
to
generate
a
different
atmosphere
for
the
‘audience’
or
customer.
They
also
used
lights
to
light
up
the
name
of
the
store
behind
the
tills,
which
was
a
central
point
of
the
room
and
the
store.

5. Example
Four
Shop
or
Retail
Outlet:
Selfridges
1. Name
the
lights
used
to
achieve
the
overall
appearance
/
atmosphere
In
this
shop
pin
spots,
film
set
lighting
(floods
with
barn
doors),
fluorescent
lighting
tubes
and
LED
backlight
was
used
to
generate
the
overall
atmosphere.
This
shop
had
multiple
shops
in
one
however
they
all
tied
together
by
the
lighting
and
design.
2. Discuss
the
mood
and
atmosphere
created
(including
the
use
of
colour
/
semiotics)
The
overall
opposite
the
store
was
dark
and
stylistic.
Using
the
listed
lights
above
the
store
generated
a
smart
and
sophisticated
feel,
which
run
throughout
the
different
stores
with
in
this
one
store.
The
noticeable
element
is
that
all
the
stores
still
have
their
own
unique
style.
The
colours
used
in
the
store
are
bright
and
eye-­‐popping,
however
some
used
natural
coloured
lighting.
3. Discuss
specials
&
effects
(e.g.
lamp
shades,
lights
on
flex
etc)
Fluorescent
lighting
tubes
were
used
in
a
different
way
to
what
I
had
already
seen
around
the
Trafford
Centre.
They
had
put
T-­‐shirts
over
the
tubes
to
highlight
what
was
on
the
stand
below.

6. Example
Five
Shop
or
Retail
Outlet:
Apple

only
used
generic
lighting
to
create
a
bright
white
effect
throughout
the
entire
store.
They
also
used
light
boxes
to
highlight
items
within
the
store;
this
created
highlighted
areas,
which
drew
your
attention.
2. Discuss
the
mood
and
atmosphere
created
(including
the
use
of
colour
/
semiotics)
This
changed
the
atmosphere
using
the
colour
connotations
of
purity
and
cleanliness,
from
the
white
lighting.
3. Discuss
specials
&
effects
(e.g.
lamp
shades,
lights
on
flex
etc)
This
store
used
light
boxes
to
highlight
items
within
the
store;
this
was
key
as
it
was
a
very
bright
white
store
so
they
had
to
find
a
way
to
make
the
items
stand
out.
