Week 6 - Umbrellas

I was walking through Aldrich Park after class the other day and passed the patio area of Phoenix Grill near the Social Sciences area. This is a normal route for me, but that day, the blue and yellow umbrellas of the outside patio tables really caught my attention. I started thinking if those had always been there and why I was only noticing it then. I didn't have my camera on me, but the sun was shining brightly and the blue and yellow just really stuck out. Maybe the umbrellas were new or it was just a really beautiful day, but it really drew me in. And it got me thinking about the designer/decorator's intentions. Yes they are our school colors, but it's also somewhat a form of advertising. Because they may just be insignificant umbrellas, but they catch your attention, even from a far and force you to look towards Phoenix Grill. And once you've noticed it, you just might decide to grab a bit to eat there.
