Anthropologie window display designs

During our tutorial session today jotting down our interests and strength,
a thought has occurred. I stated my five strengths as image making, photoshop, vibrancy, paper engineering and concept ideas. and I came up with an area that I can apply and stretch my strengths to!
Window display design.
Joshua recommended to look at Anthropologie's cork window display that politically brings up the issue of corks being disappeared. and while I look at Anthropologie's designs they are notably distinctive among other window displays in terms of scale, use of material and artistic feature.
Here are some interesting ones that I find are beautifully handled. I personally like the ones made with corks of its sculptural aspect. (although I think the first one in the picture overpowers the garment.)

feeling futile

everything that they went through seems meaningless.
no matter how much effort has been put, it flied away like bubbles in the air.
how could one desire something that he will get bored of so easily?
how after a long journey, could one give up on it so easily.
its that nothingness that once occupied my mind and it was gone before I know it.
utterly nothing.

whoooaaa
this brings up my interest to the surface.
i looove geometric shapes and the concept of destruction.
i love its non-decorativeness, range of colours, sizes of the shapes.
The straightforwardness is what I've been looking for.
How can I put it into a design practice?
if i had a tattoo, it would be a piece somewhat geometric. (a square or a rhombus)

not interested

having no interest in anything gives you a lot of pain in the head.
no food, boys, work, shopping, clubbing, nothing.
im in a statue of needing to sit by the sea. that's all.

in a statue of defenseless,
a statue of neutralised. 

I dont want it to last long, but i needed it.

hypnosis


everyone's under self-hypnosis
they just dont talk about it every minute

the deeper you fall in hypnosis the better you perform in life

you may be sickening inside
and its getting harder and harder to cure

Sensibility and Reason:

Sensibility and Reason:

These two words has once occupied my head the most back in the days when I was young and naive, having difficulties in social networking. I am still not quite sure how much to show myself to others, although through many experiences I know that some kind of image making of oneself is to an extent needed, even to family members. I am to be honest more of an emotional person(so that is probably how I ended up having an interest in writing on this issue) and I feel lucky about it since I am a designer and any expressiveness in anything is welcome.

This blog will be my online notebook on this issue, my forever unsolving homework, and any other related ones. I believe now is the best time to start posting on this issue because I am free?

How to Make a Paper Airplane Fly for Over 10 Seconds

  • 1

    Ensure that your wings are dihedral. Dihedral wings fold upward, not downward. Look at your paper plane from the front or back; if the wings are pointing down to the ground, readjust them so that they point upward.

  • 2

    Make sure the plane is stable. Stability in aeronautics doesn't mean that the plane will come apart; stability means that the plane has a center of gravity at a neutral point where the plane will return to if disturbed. A nose-heavy or back-heavy paper plane will most likely fly for only a few seconds. For the common dartlike paper airplane, the plane is stable if the neutral point is half the distance from the nose to the tail. Balance the plane on a finger or small object. If it doesn't balance at that central point, readjust the weight by refolding the wings or nose.

  • 3

    Throw your plane as high as you can to maximize time in the air.

  • 4

    Throw the plane as fast as possible. Ken Blackburn, the Guinness world record holder for the longest paper plane flight of 27.6 seconds (as of June 2010), estimates the plane leaves his hand at 60 mph.
