Day 269 - Graphic design in New York City: 'what's up?'

In New York City I spend a whole lot of time looking around me,
in the streets, the subway, billboards, shopping windows, shops, etc.

Why? Simply to get inspired and to see what kind of 'language' graphic designers use in the USA.

The photo below is taken in OPening Ceremony, a wonderful store in Soho.
