Course description
Designing Pop Up Shops and Events will show you how you can apply interior design skills, visual communication, marketing tools and project management to enhance your brand or launch products and to build new audiences.
Pop-Up shops allow designers and creatives to showcase and promote their work and products to specific customers and targeted audiences through the use of a unique, engaging and exciting temporary environment, yet often resulting with long term, lasting impressions.
With the guidance of a professional designer, you will learn how to visualise a space with a short, sustainable lifespan. A space that is modular and that can be repurposed, built up and broken down simply and efficiently.
