Maybe one day I’ll be able to design an exhibit for myself such as the one shown, but until then clients are a necessity. As a freelance designer I have two clients: the exhibit builder and the exhibitor. Both organizations usually include groups of people that have a say in how my design will eventually take shape. The exhibit builders have salespeople, estimators, installers and production supervisors that each may have their imprint on the design. Exhibitors usually have marketing, advertising, sales, accounting, and the CEO all weighing in on the results. With all manner of personalities tugging the design in one direction or another it’s amazing that I can even recognize the finished booth at the show.
