Location: in a bookstore somewhere in Manhattan
Objective: the bookstore is a small dainty place off in the corner of street. Inside, the lights were warm but not a disturbingly bright yellow. There was just lighting to make the different books and objects visible to the people inside. It does well to work with the rainbow of color we get from the hundreds or books displayed in the chaotic layout of the book shelves. Although there are large windows on the sides of the store, the windows were covered by curtains and signs which hindered any natural light to come in.
Subjective: The lighting was just warm enough, and bright enough where the books and lettering could be visible. But was still a bit dim where you can feel at ease and relaxed. Similar to how someone might not one to have all the lights on at home, but maybe have it to its 70% value. The lighting did well to accompany the browns from the wooden shelves and the many colors decorating the place from the plethora of books. Overall it created this homey and relaxed feeling, which is great when it comes to the idea of reading books.
