Apple event preparations under way in SF (photos)

SAN FRANCISCO--On Monday, workers at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts hang signs in preparation for Apple's upcoming media event. The company is widely expected to unveil a tablet computer during the event, which is scheduled for Wednesday at 10 a.m. PST.

Peeking through a window into the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, I spotted a diagram of the design being applied to the windows of the theater.

The designs on the windows are brightly colored paint-like splatterings.

As the design comes together, we can see a colorful paint-like design filling the windows of the venue.

The Apple design brightens the San Francisco cityscape on a dreary Monday afternoon.

Workers apply adhesive banners to the windows.

Outside of the theater where Apple will hold its event Wednesday, workers perched on a crane hang sections of the colorful design.

Measuring carefully, a worker hangs the final sections of the window pane design Monday at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts.
