Graphic Design Takeaways

When it comes to your exhibition stand graphics, simplicity is key. Clearly convey what you do without being too clever or subtle; otherwise, you risk losing your audience. Opt for big, bold, and simple statements that are easy to read. And don't forget to include images of attractive people using your product or service to create a connection with visitors. Embrace bold and vibrant colors for your exhibition walls to stand out from the crowd. Remember, less is more when it comes to graphic ideas - keep it simple and avoid overwhelming your visitors.

Stand Design Takeaways

Say goodbye to boring flat walls and embrace sweeping curved walling for a captivating visual impact. Finding a contractor experienced in creating curved walls is essential to achieve the desired effect. Additionally, consider the busyness of the show and make sure your branding is positioned at a high level for maximum visibility. However, be cautious not to exceed the height limit set by the show organizer. Creating a sense of intimacy can be achieved by incorporating 3D structures such as overhead canopy structures and meeting spaces, providing a cozy and welcoming atmosphere.
