Blue- Serious "theme"

When designing a window display, visual merchandisers take colour into consideration. Colour can help set a desired mood, determine the reaction from customers, and support the occurring theme. 

The theme portrayed in the images I have posted is 'serious' with the main colour blue. I found the image above a serious theme because of the chosen background; a photo of a past time, of life, of reality. The colour blue on Madonnas shirt helps support setting the mood of sincerity, softness and seriousness. When I first look at the image I get a feeling of nostalgia. I also chose the image below as a serious theme because of the instant feeling of eeriness and mystery. The colour blue can also give off a meaning of power along with seriousness, which is portrayed in this image.
