Creative Concepts: Designing a Visual Display using AI
1. Background Information: Before starting and experimenting with ideas we discussed the following…
- Elements: line, shape, color, texture, space.
- Principles: balance, emphasis, proportion, rhythm, unity
​
2. Brand & Theme Selection: Target x JoyLab “Bloom Into Spring” or “Move Into Spring”
​
3. Sketch or Verbalize a Display: We decided we would create a visual display to showcase JoyLab’s spring collections at Target locations. We thought what better way to do so than combining pilates / yoga which is very popular right now and the next season to come which is Spring! Together we came up with elements and principles to incorporate including
movement, balance, emphasis, shape, stripes & patterns, and spotlight lighting. We could even implement mannequins in pilates and yoga poses to really showcase the look while including spring florals and pastels with our apparel and set up displays.

4. Explaining Customer Experience:
The “Bloom in Motion” display immediately attracts customers through its bold hot pink hero mannequin positioned in a dynamic Warrior II pose, creating a strong focal point that naturally draws the eye from across the store. The surrounding pastel palette of lavender, blue, lemon, and floral prints creates visual rhythm and encourages customers to move around the circular layout, increasing engagement time with the merchandise. The soft arches, light wood risers, and minimal floral accents create a calm yet energizing environment that evokes feelings of renewal, balance, and confidence—emotions strongly associated with spring and personal wellness. Psychologically, the movement-based poses communicate strength and approachability, helping customers visualize themselves wearing the apparel in real-life active settings. The open spacing and clean layout reflect Target’s modern, accessible aesthetic while still feeling elevated and trend-forward. This display aligns with JoyLab’s brand identity by blending feminine softness with athletic strength, reinforcing the message that movement can be both powerful and joyful. Overall, the experience encourages customers to feel inspired, empowered, and ready to “bloom” into the new season.
