Last night, Newcastle College held an opening night to showcase our Visual Merchandising Exhibition. A chance for parents and people from the industry to come and view the project we had been working on for the past 3 weeks. The display was also the deadline of the project. Each individual installation had to be complete for the night so that the gallery came together to look like a department store of concession shops.
After a stressful day off pulling the last of my work together (putting up a PVC backdrop was a last minute decision) I managed to finish my installation in time. I found this project difficult at first to imagine new ideas. I like to think outside the box, so something that was unoriginal would not be good enough. Once I got the ball rolling, I loved the creative aspects. It is safe to say I was thrilled with my final show space looked. It was bold, creative and unusual. Most of all, it was reflective of rebellious children’s clothing brand I was trying to create. I received excellent feedback from peers, lectures and the industry.
Not only was I thrilled to see my own final product, I got too preview what my peers had achieved. I took photos of my favourite parts of the show.
