In 1845, as Charles Lewis Tiffany releases a book in order to present the brand’s latest collection, he decides to make it a marketing strategy and give the color of this book a “turquoise blue” color. The myth says that this color wasn’t chosen randomly; in fact, turquoise gems were extremely popular during the 19th Century and Tiffany wanted to promote this idea of class, refinement, and distinction. Initially the color of a collection booklet, the turquoise has become an icon of what the founder of Tiffany & Co wanted to represent by presenting his collection in “The Blue Book”.
The New York Sun said in 1906, “Tiffany has one thing in stock that you cannot buy of him for as much money as you may offer, he will only give it to you. And that

Owning one of these boxes is considered a privilege, a luxury, that is sometimes accessible for a couple hundred dollars, or on the contrary for millions of dollars if we take a look at the brand’s finest jewelry lines. When someone mentions this blue color, they will usually say “Tiffany Blue”, given that everyone knows what this blue looks like. According to the same article written by Robert, the color is “the most protected color in branding”, which means that a federal government law gives the privilege to Tiffany & Co. to use this color and no one else, no matter what the purpose is. No one is allowed under any circumstance to reproduce and sell this color to a third …show more content…

Bloomingdales opened his store at 938 Third Avenue, NYC, far away from "New York's shopping district [which] was then located between Fourteenth and Twenty-third streets."

Although he did not completely give up painting beginning in the late 1870s he did set his attention towards decorative arts and interiors.
These two colors together are a smart idea for any company due to the emotional and psychological value behind them. Pink makes the consumer feel warm and safe while orange at the same time prompts a rush in sale and the urge to buy particularly beverages. As said before when pink is merged with a darker color such as orange it can give off the sense of sophistication, making the company seem more intelligent and upper class. (Russo, "Front End of Innovation Blog: Color Me Creative: A Visual Trip through Color Psychology") This could be argued to be logos, by making a perception of something. These colors are clearly pathos due to the emotional ties they have on a consumer the company hopes to sway in to their restaurant.

Tennessee Williams’ play, “The Glass Menagerie”, depicts the life of an odd yet intriguing character: Laura. Because she is affected by a slight disability in her leg, she lacks the confidence as well as the desire to socialize with people outside her family. Refusing to be constrained to reality, she often escapes to her own world, which consists of her records and collection of glass animals. This glass menagerie holds a great deal of significance throughout the play (as the title implies) and is representative of several different aspects of Laura’s personality. Because the glass menagerie symbolizes more than one feature, its imagery can be considered both consistent and fluctuating.
Boxes are a common theme throughout the ad and there is a large contrast in the way Larabar is conveyed versus the competing brands. Larabar uses the phrase “little boxes” a multitude of times in the ad to show the contrast in their products. Their boxes are smaller and with that, Larabar customers are able to fit more boxes in their grocery bags (Larabar). The more the merrier. On the contrary, their competing brands, sell cardboard boxes which are larger and tend to take up more space within the bags. These cardboard boxes also have a bland, dreary look to them compared to the bright, vibrant colors of the Larabar boxes. The contrast in color supports the claim that Larabar has a sense of joy from their products compared to the dull feeling that comes across in the competing brands. Larabar declares to be different than others with their little boxes. This is continuously supported by the lyrics, “little boxes all the same” and is portrayed in the ad by aligning all the dull, cardboard boxes in perfect rows and columns, indeed, illustrating that they are all the same (Larabar). Larabar’s little boxes continue to be different from the rest, not only in ingredients, but with color and care as well. There is a sense of carelessness from their competitors with the depiction of certain boxes possessing dents or sitting in storage
Henrik Ibsen’s “A Doll’s House” is a controversial play focusing on the marriage of Nora and Torvald Helmer. The play is filled with symbols that represent abstract ideas and concepts. These symbols effectively illustrate the inner conflicts that are going on between the characters. Henrik Ibsen’s use of symbolism such as the Christmas tree, the locked mailbox, the Tarantella, Dr. Rank’s calling cards, and the letters allows him to give a powerful portrayal to symbolize aspects of characters and their relationship to each other.

With the national economy stronger than it has been in decades, 1999 was a peak year for good old American consumerism. Timely for a generation of consumers. Nordstrom Inc., one of the nation’s oldest retail legends, approaches its 100th anniversary with over one hundred department stores across the country. Nordstrom profits by targeting untapped consumer resources in cities such as Providence whose shoppers previously crossed state lines to fill their closets and empty their bank accounts. The opening of one of their shiniest new branches, the first in Rhode Island, boasts milky marble floors, the latest in escalator design and Providence’s highest class of designer clad shoppers. Whether you are in Nashville or Anchorage, the quality of merchandise, service, and shopping environment at Nordstrom is set at a high standard. The air is thick with expensive perfume, sales clerks are smartly dressed and excitable, pink cashmere hangs delicately from the racks. Nordstrom Inc, which has done well in the stock exchange and on the internet, attempts to provide a pleasant shopping experience for customers. After a white chocolate mocha at the Nordstrom Café and three expansive floors of warm overhead lighting, most agree. People come for the atmosphere, the fashion, and if they happen to know about Leroy, they come for the music. Sometime in November, a young man from East Providence wandered into Nordstrom with a group of friends, noticed that the black Steinway on the first floor was silent, sat down, and began to play. As his fingers rolled an eclectic mix of gospel, jazz, and blues across the ivory keys, a crowd of shoppers abandoned their purchases, literally dropped their bags, to surround the piano, drawn by the music to this magnetic musician. No one had heard anything like it, especially in a department store. Stephanie in jewelry dialed Merideth on the third floor. Nineteen year old Leroy Robinson landed himself a job.
