The David Report focused entirely on sustainability and good design is the first example I am using. "Sprouts farmers markets" grocery store, represent authenticity well. "How can we use the knowledge and authenticity from handicraft and local heritage in a global industrial context?" Well Arizona-based Sprouts Farmers Market's distinctive format and friendly staff offers a bright, cheery shopping experience that has been its cornerstone since the founders, the Boney family, opened their first produce stand in 1943. The store takes you back to a more simple time, when every one new everyone else and you new where your food was coming from. the stores feature natural, organic and favorite indulgence foods that are locally grown when available. So the Sprouts in Colorado will get a lot of its produce from local farmers while the Sprouts in Arizona is not getting its stuff from the Colorado farmers but from the Arizona farmers close to its location.
The color pallet used is very earth tone, and the font very organic. It to takes you to a slower paced more relaxed time that you remember from the past. http://sprouts.com/home.php

The second comes based off of the second David report "The RATIONAISSANCE trend springs from design history. But it’s at the same time (and perhaps because of that) a trend for the future which in a liberating way rebel against the dictates of modernism and minimalism. In a way design is about merging the past, present and the future. If we fail in doing so it all becomes rather dull because of the lack of history. RATIONAISSANCE is about going beyond the short term and fleeting trends." I think "the Sharper image" is a perfect example of this. It takes every day stuff, stuff that we see every day and puts a new twist, and a new flair to it. It takes something that is functional and makes it iconic. Something that in all purposes is the same as it was 50 years ago but adds a small yet very drastic change to it to give it a new breath of life.http://www.sharperimage.com/default.html?gclid=CNCcyp73qqACFRJWagod4RxkZw

And for the 3rd I go back to the first David report. Colorado Fresh Markets represents "environmental influence" well. This company is "responsible, healthy, resource-economic" all in one. The average piece of produce travels 2000 miles before it reaches you and with each day loses more of its nutritional value. Shopping at Colorado Fresh Markets helps local family farmers stay in business, preserves quality local food sources for Colorado while using less resources, and most importantly, provides you with access to the freshest and most nutritious produce available. http://www.coloradofreshmarkets.com/index.html
