I try to create spaces that feel good and are practical. I think the layout is probably the most important aspect of any successful design. This means the designer has to visualize the space and how it will feel when it is complete. It also means he has to know size requirements, aisle spaces and traffic flow. I also try, whenever possible, to use materials that are not necessarily common to that particular business to try to create more depth and texture. It also adds layers and creates interest. When all that is done, then I address the logo, decor, colors and lighting. Colors and lighting are crucial to creating warmth in any space. When designing an exterior storefront on any kind the goal is to paint a picture of what is inside and to make the front as much a sign as possible. Sign space is valuable and often hard to aquire. When a storefront has the right design it becomes signage even with very little lettering.
