What does the Exhibit Designer Do?

The contribution of the Exhibit Designer is complex and pervasive. In most conditions, it begins and continues almost to the end of production.


The first stage in the development of an Exhibition Show is to determine how much space is needed. What kind of space; indoor or out door, and how that space is to be utilized. The ideal circumstances, such analysis is based on definition of the Exhibitor’s Marketing goals. But of course, circumstances are not usually ideal. Most of the time the space has been selected well before the Exhibitor.

At this point, the Exhibit Designer begins to move from the freedom of the sketch pad to the restrictions of the “Blue Print”. The professional of Exhibit Designer should have to take into account the limitations and performed of actual construction.

The experiences of Exhibit Designer are really important. The Exhibit Designer who is not working or has never worked with a production house may pay “little attention” to the practicalities of turning a concept into a 3D actuality with the realities of materials and labors. The Exhibit Designer does not really often to get opportunity of seeing a design go through the production process.

It means, the Exhibit Designer must work at two levels;

  1. A knowledge of engineering is as important as artistic ability। This knowledge will determine the practically of the design, it can be efficiently installed and dismantled.
  2. A full analysis of many specific projects from the information provided by a single illustration, or even by many. Consider able background is required to determine from a photo, whether the display is structurally sound and practical.

It can certainly assume that Exhibit Designer were constructible, that whatever impossible ideas their may have dreamed into a sketch have been figured out somewhere along the development.
