Project Type: Product Design
Course: Industrial Design IV
Project Focus: Exhibition Display Panel Redesign
Overview
This project reimagines traditional exhibition display panels with a modern, modular solution that prioritizes portability, interactivity, and ease of setup. The result is a compact, lightweight, and engaging display system that transforms the way exhibitions are designed and experienced.
Key Features
- Effortless Setup: Smooth open-close mechanisms simplify installation.
- Portable Form: Compact and lightweight design for easy transportation.
- Interactive Display: Supports digital interfaces and tactile interaction.
- Adaptable Layouts: Easily fits various booth sizes and environments.
- Modern Aesthetic: Clean lines and vibrant branding enhance visual impact.
- Eco-Friendly: Built using durable and sustainable materials.
Design Journey
Research & Case Studies:
- Studied drawbacks of traditional panels: bulkiness, rigidity, and lack of interaction.
- Interviewed seniors and reviewed previous thesis works for insights.
Ideation & Sketching:
- Multiple iterations through sketching and digital modeling.
- Focused on usability, foldability, and visual appeal.
Prototyping & Testing:
- CAD modeling and physical mockups tested with user feedback.
- Refined locking mechanisms and modular structure for durability.
Pedestal Integration
- A custom 15° tilted pedestal was designed to hold the project book.
- Users can view process documentation hands-free, enhancing interaction without disrupting the display.
Why It’s Better Than Traditional Panels
- No more bulky transport and lengthy setups.
- Attracts and engages visitors through interactivity.
- Reusable and cost-effective for long-term use.
- Designed with sustainability and aesthetics in mind.
Tools Used
- Adobe Illustrator – for layout design and graphics
- SolidWorks – for 3D modeling
- KeyShot – for rendering
- Sketchbook Pro – for ideation sketches
- Physical Prototyping Tools – for model-making and testing
Abstract Statement
“This redesigned display panel system sets a new standard for exhibition experiences — blending innovation, functionality, and user engagement into one effortless solution.”
