Bullseye Bodega


An article that I found interesting today on Core77 was one that outlined a design project for Target. Starting September 12
th, Target will be opening four “Bullseye Bodegas”. The simple bullseye logo that we all recognize as being the logo for Target, will be repeated over and over in red and yellow. It will be a short exhibition (one weekend) in Manhattan.
I found this interesting for a few reasons. Firstly, it shows just how important design is in our everyday lives. Secondly, it reminded me of an exhibition that I read about earlier this summer. In May, specific train cars in Japan were decked out in Ikea furniture.
