About this course

Exhibition Design teaches you to plan, draw, and graphically resolve a real exhibit, whether a 10-by-10 trade-show booth, a 20-by-20 island, or a gallery story room. You will work through booth-size types and the rules that govern them, visitor-flow and dwell-time thinking, the reading-distance math behind panel graphics, scale-model and mockup techniques, and the fire-rated materials and modular systems that make a temporary structure buildable. By the end you can hand a fabricator or show contractor a floor plan, elevations, a graphics schedule, and a materials spec they can quote and install on a deadline.
