Exhibition and Retail Design

Exhibition and Retail Design is one of the many exciting modules included in the Higher National Diploma (HND) programme. As a module it is designed to develop the learners skills and understanding of retail design, lighting, display systems, office planning/workplace design and exhibition design.


Our 3rd year students are currently working on an exhibition/retail project where the brief required them to design a functional cosmetic counter for a large cosmetic brand to be situated in an upmarket department store. 


This project required the student to develop a retail component that was a representation of their chosen cosmetic brand, so while this component needed to be highly functional in terms of ergonomics, display, storage, etc. it also needed to be visually sharp in terms of form, materials and lighting. The students challenge was to create a retail component that was aesthetically on par with what international cosmetic brands are producing at the moment. 


This project is close to being wrapped up so stay tuned for our students fabulous presentation boards. In the meantime here are a few designs from a past student to give you an idea of Exhibition and Retail Design.
