Target’s “egg-cellent” Easter signage and goodies. 

So no need to go on about how we here at Designbarf love Target. So we may post a little on Target here and there, get over it. We just want to honor Targets ability to bring design into the everyday retail store. Ohh….Ahh….

 

2009 Target "egg-cellent" Easter Signage

We’ve done some research but couldn’t uncover if a particular design firm is behind Target’s 2009 Easter signage or if it was done in house. We may also use some ninja skills to catch some better photos of the entire campaign. In short there are bunnies and machines, making and delivering well, easter eggs. Above is the entry way signage. Each piece is mechanical. Executed  in a slightly retro but still very modern aesthetic like many of Target’s other campaigns. The seasonal signage is fun and whimsical. With clever or “egg-cellent” names, breezy colors, illustrative, and pretty typography. 

They’ve also extended out into the merchandising realm (of course) with some fun packaging on easter candy and supplies. 

Basically, if your at Target between now and Easter, take some time to stroll by the seasonal section. There are plenty of design delights waiting for you.

Hello world! Let’s barf!

Welcome to Designbarf.  You may ask yourself “why?” 

Why create one more design blog since there are so many terrific ones out there. And why use such a fowl name?

Well, we here at Designbarf feel there are some “holes” existing in some of our favorite blogs and we wanted to create a blog to fill those voids and deliver the good, the bad, the ugly, and the just plan tacky of all that live under the great umbrella tree of design. 

As for the name, well……..
