Anyone have some blogs/sources for retail POS/POP design inspiration? Something akin to http://www.thedieline.com/ is for packaging. not sourcing or trade info, just pretty pics of good retail design ideas…
Looking for stuff like freestanding displays, shelftalkers, counter displays, trade show booths, etc… not so much full retail environments, but that could be inspiration as well.
Not exactly what your asking for but the design awards section has lots of nice environmental experiences that may lead to the inspiration your looking for.
You know, when I do work for brands I typically use their website for ideas. I usually find following the brand guidelines, colour, logo use etc it usually designs itself.
Every brand has it’s own language and it’s just a matter of translating that into 3 Dimensions.
I was wondering the same thing. I was actually going ask how to get a Packaging and POP dedicated section going here. I know I can not be the only packaging and brand designer on this thread.
Thanks for the links, all. Though none are really what I’m looking for. I don’t want companies that do POS, but rather a collection of pics, perhaps blog style…I’m sure there’s got to be something out there.
Anyhow interesting to see so much support for this area of ID. I’ll pass along the request for a POS/PKG forum to the other mods…
OK, didn’t scroll down that far… sorry. still, checking them all out now and nothing really catches my eye… guess perhaps I’m looking for more exciting things in a cear presentation that may not exist…
VM+SD - This hasn’t been mentioned though it focuses more retail stores/displays but they deal with pretty much everything, I’m sure you’re familiar. I get the mag and it’s okay.
i wondered why there wasn’t a POP section either. i no longer do it, but it always felt like POP was the genetically malformed child of industrial design hidden in the shadows, something like steve martin as Ruprect in ‘Dirty Rotten Scoundrels’. it’s a large industry a lot of us are associated with, but no one seems to like talking about it.
