Design Observation Blog - Michaels is Watching

Oct 12, 2009 | |

Michael's has spent cash to let you know they are watching you. No regular with closed circuit connection, but a flat screen suspended from the ceiling right in the entrance. In a store overrun by grandmothers buying knitting supplies and mothers with small children buying foam dinosaur kits, this seemed a little overkill to me, but then I thought, I only think that since they market and design the stores for those demographics. They are a real store with real profits and loss prevention and I wouldn't think twice about seeing the same set up at Best Buy. Still seems out of place, perhaps they could decoupage it.
