Point of Sale Display

For our Point of Sale Display for our sketchbooks, we were thinking of doing something simple, yet effective in its purpose.

The image below shows a rough idea of how we would like to design our POSD, yet we may make some modifications to the design.

We were thinking that the POSD, would be made out of card, possibly corrugated, to give it some strength when holding the sketchbooks. Also, corrugated card would be rather cheap to use, the only minor problem we have with that material, is figuring out how to print upon it.

Printing techniques

For printing onto 3D objects such as the ornaments, there are 3 printing techniques which I think would work best:

-Giclee – inkjet based digital print (can use ink, acrylic, or oil paint)
-Screen printing - a mesh stencil technique
-Stenciling



Laser cutting would probaby be best for cutting into the materials, as it is precise and accurate.


Material options:
wood - Enhances the nature vibes

metal - Metal wire can easily be shaped. Sheet metal is reminiscent of some of the scultpures

plastic - Can be cut into, melted, and shaped. Can have a wide variety of colours

ceramics - Gives a homely feel.
