Much later we learn to “feel” texture with our eyes Incorporating the feel of texture into displays is an important concept in Visual Merchandising

Texture Basics 101Texture The tactile qualities of surfaces; actual or implied
SurfacesSmooth- reflect light and appear brighterRough- hold light and appear darker VehiclesFood, Food Vessels, Props, Fabric and Furniture EffectsComplementary Textures suggest familiarity Opposite Textures are attention grabbers; they bring humor,scale or shock to displays

1. Balance 2. Line 3. Emphasis 4. Proportion 5. Rhythm 6. Harmony
LandscapingThe “Ups and Downs” of Visual Merchandising
Symmetry - (perfect balance) equal weight to each half of the display
Asymmetry- (informal balance) each side achieves a sense of balance, though using different objects
Top to Bottom Light weight or light colors to the top Heavier weight or dark colors to the bottom
1. Balance
LandscapingThe Ups and Downs of Visual Merchandising
Vertical - conveys strength, height, dignity line is elegant, forceful and direct
Horizontal - conveys easy going, restful, calmcan help smooth or cut vertical
Diagonal - directs the eye to pointusually left top to right bottom
Curves - guides the eye adds flowing movement
2. Line
LandscapingThe “Ups and Downs” of Visual Merchandising
3. Emphasis - attention grabbers
SizeLarge or unique shapes get noticed RepetitionThe eye focuses quickly on repetitive shapes
ContrastUse of contrasting shaped items leads the eye
Unique PlacementUse pedestals or stands to elevate and createvertical sales space
LandscapingThe “Ups and Downs” of Visual Merchandising
4. Proportion (AKA - Scale)
The comparative relationship of the designelements to each other must have a pleasing effect to the eye
LandscapingThe “Ups and Downs” of Visual Merchandising
5. RhythmThe flow or movement of the eye along the display
Movement methods:Repetition- Use of same shapes
Continuous Line- Identical rows of product
Progression- Same shapes in increasing ordecreasing order
Radiation- Arranging merchandise to radiate from central focal point
Alternation- alternating the shapes or patterns
Landscaping The “Ups and Downs” of Visual Merchandising
