Merchandise displayers, or visual merchandisers, plan and erect
commercial displays such as those in windows and interiors of
retail stores or at trade exhibitions. Those who would work on
building exteriors erect major store decorations, including
building and window displays, and spot lighting. Those who
design store interiors outfit store departments, arrange table
displays, and dress mannequins. In large retail chains, store
layouts typically are designed corporately through a central
design department. To retain the chain?s visual identity and
ensure that a particular image or theme is promoted in each
store, designs are distributed to individual stores by e-mail,
downloaded to computers equipped with the appropriate design
software, and adapted to meet individual store size and
dimension requirements. |
