San Francisco's Yerba Buena Center for the Arts is starting to get Apple's traditional promotional window dressing ahead of the company's Oct. 22 iPad event.
The decoration, seen in a photo by AppleInsider reader David Jones, appears to match Apple's Tuesday invitations for the event, with multicolored "leaves" from Apple's logo scattered in the background. The Yerba Buena Center is one of Apple's most preferred venues for product showcases, having hosted the original iPad's 2010 introduction, among others.
Also spotted was a design schematic depicting the finished layout.
Apple is expected to unveil a redesigned 9.7-inch iPad featuring a thinner build and narrower bezels around the display alongside a Retina display-equipped iPad mini at the Oct. 22 event. Both devices are rumored to be available in Apple's new gold and space gray color schemes, introduced in September with the iPhone 5s.
The company will also likely show off updates to the next-generation Mac Pro desktop and OS X Mavericks operating system at the event. The new Mac Pro, which Apple will build in the United States, is rumored for a November launch, while Mavericks has already gone golden master and may be released before October is out.
AppleInsider will be on site for Tuesday's event and will bring live coverage alongside hands-on first impressions for any new devices.

Funny how it has become the 'iPad event'. In my mind this is the 'Mavericks event'. Not that I have any info but the graphics are different enough from IOS to make me think this is not all IOS related.
I think it's the color palette. Nothing I've seen in Mavericks makes me think that all those pastels are pointing to OS X.
I can't wait. The iPads are such a big part of Apple now...
It will be interesting to see what they say about iPods, if anything.
iPods may be addressed closer to Xmas, though.
I would encourage everyone to watch the Keynote....the Keynotes are always interesting. :)
When their new Campus 2 presentation centre is built, they should just put LCD displays all over the walls instead of these silly analog posters
I will not bother you with my wishful thinking.... ........... Would love to have one Mavericks event feat. Re-engineered iWork, iLife as week as rMBP and MacPro. That would be a lot to cover. Then one iPad update with ios7.1 and iCloud with, for instance, a storage capacity for photostream similar as flickr's (now that would make it a super sticky walled garden). ........... OK, I did it again .... Sooooo sowwwy
