Hue Color Tint Shade is an exhibit designed by students in the first year of the Visual Presentation and Exhibition Design program at FIT and explores the topic of color as a selling tool.

What brings you into a store? The window displays which catch your attention! And, color! And that is exactly what this exhibition  features.

The Process:
Teams of two were created and assigned a pantone color and an accessory item. They were then asked to research the meaning, psychology, and cultural influences related to their color and conceptualize a design for a window display using a mannequin. The end result  is this amazing exhibit running through April 20th, 2012 in the Pomerantz Art and Design Center (D-building) lobby. This exhibit is open to the public.

Not only are there different colors but, each mannequin is a representation of each team’s imagination and creativity. It is one of the most amazing things I have seen here while interning at FIT. You must check it out and tell me what you think in the comment box below.
