Exhibition Design Frequently Asked Questions

I charge £40 per hour for 3D design work.

I can provide an estimate at the start of a job, based on the length of time I think I’ll need to accomplish everything you’ve told me in the design brief.

I’ll draft out a design from your brief, then produce full colour visuals and a plan, showing the design from all angles.

From here you’ll have the opportunity to provide feedback so that I can refine and finalise the design.

Once you’re happy with the design I’ll prepare technical drawings which can be used for detailed costings, and build.

It’s pretty tricky without any sort of brief.

I’ve created a design briefing template, which you can download here. This should help you put together a simple exhibition design brief.

I’ll advise on turnaround times on a brief by brief basis.

I try to get initial designs and visuals done within ten days of starting any job, but please be aware it can sometimes be longer, depending on the size of the stand, and my workload at the time.

I use Cinema 4D with Redshift for all my visuals, and Vectorworks for technical drawings.

Yes, I have a design agreement that covers a few important points to keep things clear and straightforward. It includes:

• What we both agree to do.

• The design process, including how changes and revisions are handled.

• Payment terms.

• How I handle copyright and sharing work in my portfolio.

You can check out the full agreement here.

Yes, I’ve prepared a couple of examples of how I present designs to my clients here:
