A while back (Jan 2014), a designer called Sebastiano Guerriero created an unsolicited redesign of the Apple store. The square grid of large images in the new Apple store redesign reminded me of his concept. I wonder if Apple looked at the design (it went viral) and took some inspiration. Regardless, I thought the unsolicited design was rather nice.
