Reminder: Visual Merchandiser For a Day

Zoe Bradley for Brown Thomas

Kudos to those of you who already started brainstorming and planning for our competition.. for those who haven’t yet, what are you waiting for? The deadline is Friday November 27th!

I have been getting some emails and phone calls with questions, so I just wanted to clarify some points:

- The area to be designed is located right in front of the cashier, you can download a layout here, and use it as your canvas to sketch out your concept.

- We just need one concept in addition to documentation which will explain your theme, materials, design principles, budget, and sketches.

- It’s important that your concept is practical in terms of budget and design. Also think realistically, a concept which can’t be produced locally is useless.

- To see other displays we have done in the past, click here and browse our Kuwait store gallery.

- Remember to have fun and enjoy this experience!

You can view our Visual Merchandiser For a Day competition rules here.

Also, I’ve prepared a gallery of different window displays… turn to page 2 for some inspiration!

Visual Merchandiser For a Day

Ever wonder who comes up with those surreal window displays at Selfridges or Harvey Nichols? From creating stunning shop windows to in-store displays, visual merchandisers put the art into retail. They constantly change store windows and interior displays to reflect different themes throughout the year.

AlOthman is giving you the chance to show off your creative skills with our first edition of Visual Merchandiser For a Day. Your goal is to come up with a unique concept for an in-store display for AlOthman that should turn heads and grab attention.

All you have to do to be AlOthman’s “Visual Merchandiser For a Day” is the following:

- Download a layout of the main display area with all its dimensions.

- After you’ve selected your theme/concept, sketch out your idea on the printout.

Remember your theme should complement the elements of visual merchandising display: balance, proportion, emphasis, rhythm, and harmony.

- You will also be required to present documentation that will further explain your concept (theme, materials, design principles, budget, sketches, and anything else we might need to know that will help us understand your concept better).

- Things to keep in mind:

Theme/Concept

Materials

Color Palette of the current season

Time management

Design principles

Budget

- Send us your scanned layout and write-up by e-mail to admin@alothmanblog.com with the following information:

Full name

Mobile number

Age

Gender

Country

The winner will have their concept translated in the store. So hurry up and channel your inner Zoe Bradley.

Deadline to submit your idea is Friday November 27th, 2009.
