Course Objectives:	Point of Purchase (also called POP) or Point of Sales (POS) are a cost-effective way to increase sales and brand awareness. An essential course for creating striking and innovative designs and store displays. Students work on a wide range of formats, dimensions, styles, and a whole visual language that is used to entice the customer into the purchase. Colors, textures, lighting, and graphic art fuse to create expressive, captivating, and functional systems, capable of capturing the attention of potential buyers. With full-color photographs throughout, Point of Purchase is a must for any advertising campaign involved in retail, interior, exhibition, stand, and event design.
