Learn to design unique window displays and bring them to life using visual merchandising techniques

Visual merchandising encompasses a wide range of disciplines, from art direction to interior design, and gives you the opportunity to play with colors, materials, perspective, depth, and even create optical effects. Carla and Laura, the founders and creative directors of Kiosco Creativo, began their journey into the world of visual merchandising for big brands in 2014. Since then, they have designed more than 20 displays for the likes of Hermès (in Panama, Mexico, and Brazil), Swarovski, and Disney.

In this online course, learn the fundamentals of visual merchandising to build eye-catching displays. Your teachers guide you through their creative process step by step, from preparing the brief and developing the concept to delivering final design specifications. Ready to turn heads with your product displays?
