Context

Within the Master of Service Design of the HSLU, learners have to display their final project within an exhibition.

I'm definitely not a spatial designer, so each year I observe what learners from this master and others do and try to pick a few inspiration to share for the next cohort.

A few smart tricks

Here are a few smart tricks to create an exhibition that looks great while not overcomplicating it.

Add an object that shouldn't be here

A learner had a children bed for example. Add an object that is big, that you can easily buy at IKEA or at a second hand shop and use it to contextualize your project. You can even glue that object to your exhibition wall if you want to get extra fancy.

Make your wall one big poster

Instead of painting, adding objects or stickers, "just" create a poster of the size of your wall and stick that poster there.

Make a collage

Print a lot of tiny things and make a collage of your process and interesting pieces of your work. This could be for example touchpoint prototypes, photos of your interviews, quotes from your research, etc.
