Press Conference for Design


How To Organize an International Design Exhibition

Organizing a good design exhibition in your country or city is easy. A’ Design Award will be providing you with everything you need; that is visuals, communication materials, publicity templates digital presentations and exhibition posters for your international design exhibitions. We will help you with a blend of strategic planning, logistical coordination, and creative execution. By establishing clear objectives and selecting a resonant theme, the foundation is laid for an impactful event. Utilizing resources like those provided by A’ Design Award, such as visuals, communication materials, and digital presentations, can significantly streamline the organization process.

When selecting a venue, it’s important to consider accessibility and functionality, ensuring that it supports the scale of the exhibition, whether displaying thousands of works or a select few. Size of the exhibition venue is not important, we can provide you with tens of thousands of works as well as a few hundred designs, to meet your needs. A’ Design Award facilitates this by offering digital files of design exhibition posters, allowing for flexibility in the display—posters can be printed locally to save on transport costs or displayed digitally to highlight works not physically present. This adaptability in showcasing works caters to a variety of venue sizes and participant needs.

Securing funding and sponsorship is crucial. With A’ Design Award’s support, organizers can leverage pre-curated content, showcasing award-winning designs from various categories, we will help you with providing letters and support material. We will also help with curating the exhibition, and indeed a curated selection enriches the exhibition’s content and enhances its appeal to sponsors and attendees alike. The practical aspects of setting up the exhibition are also supported by A’ Design Award, which provides guidelines on poster sizes, printing specifications, and even the setup of digital displays for a dynamic viewing experience.

The logistical details of organizing the exhibition are equally vital. For example, A’ Design Award will provide support for image adjustments or batch processing to streamline the preparation of exhibition materials. Additionally, considerations for the physical setup—such as using appropriate background colors and materials for mounting, or choosing the right size and type of frames—play a significant role in the aesthetic and functional success of the event and again at this step A' Design Award will help you by providing you with exhibitino posters ready to print. First, we would send you the design exhibition poster images as digital files. It is almost always to print the posters at their destination city as transportation of posters could easily cost more than printing costs.

The design exhibition poster image files are usually 72 DPI PNG files without compression, while 72 DPI may initially seem low, but the pixel size is very high, and thus this will not create issues in printing; you may scratch to print in size keeping proportions, in general the poster files are 50 cm x 70 cm size (when Image Resolution is set to 150 DPI – Dots per Inch). We recommend you to first print 50 cm x 70 cm size version of a single poster to see how it is; you may scale them down proportionately if it is absolutely required. While you may scale them to min A3+ size but we do not recommend scaling down as the posters should preferably be 50 cm x 70 cm in size. This size is good for viewing from 1 meters.

The design exhibition posters will have a digital passepartout (black borders) and you may decide to remove the black borders if you wish to save toner or if you would like to keep the presentation cleaner. You may also consider extending the passepartout if you wish to ensure borderless printing or if you have to cut the prints afterwards. Before printing, you can ask us to make any such modifications to posters and we will process the images for you. Once you have the first print and like how it feels, we recommend you to calculate how many posters you would need; in general, you may want to have two rows of posters to have higher density. We could help you with poster placement and exhibition design if you need.

You can hang the posters to the wall, to the ceiling, to wooden panels as you see fit. Hanging posters could take significant time, and would require at least two persons working in tandem, a third person is recommended to check if posters are on level, for a single team. In general, having two teams is recommended. If you print posters on PVC foamboards, you do not need a frame, however if you print posters on paper, we recommend having 50 x 70 cm frames. If you have wooden exhibitors or display totems, available, you should let us know, we would be pleased to send or bring some physical items in addition to design posters to your international design exhibition but we would need to plan this in advance. If you can have a digital display that is 65” or bigger in size, we would be pleased to send horizontal 4K resolution posters, so we could showcase all winners in rotation as well, this will create additional value. In general the digital posters look great on 75"+ screens.

In promoting the exhibition, utilizing both the provided digital materials and engaging in targeted marketing strategies ensures a broad and effective reach. A’ Design Award's support in curating and potentially even physically setting up exhibitions adds a layer of professional polish that can elevate the overall impact.

Ultimately, combining these logistical and creative resources with thorough planning and community engagement ensures not just the smooth execution of the exhibition, but also its success in attracting international participants and audiences. By leveraging provided resources and integrating them with individual planning efforts, organizers can create a compelling and globally resonant design exhibition.

The A’ Design Awards will prepare and send you design exhibition posters ready to print in your country or city. A’ Design Awards will also prepare and send you digital screen presentations. Furthermore, A’ Design Awards will also help you curate the physical items and bring you physical items from the permanent collection of our design museum. If you are thinking about organizing a design exhibition, contact us and we will help you.



Creating Publicity, Finding Sponsors and Attracting Visitors
Before you design your publicity campaign or advertisement to attract visitors and spend any money at all, you must first reiterate and focus your goals; what do you wish to achieve with your international design exhibition of the A' Design Award winners, and how our design exhibition could benefit you directly; the international design exhibition of the A' Design Award winners that you are organizing is an excellent excuse to reach and meet with new people as well as strengthen your bonds with your existing contacts; you may and should use the international design exhibition to reach out to people who could help you achieve your goals.

Once you clarify and note your primary goal, the first thing you would want to do is to define your target audience and make a list of types of contacts you want to invite. In general, it is always a good idea to focus on your primary goal yet also to have a secondary objective as audience growth. The audience you are targeting, the list of people you wish to engage are going to be consisting of your existing contacts as well as new referrals, clients, customers and consumers that may be of value if you had time to connect them or reach them.

Primary goals could be "find new clients", "get more press contacts", "make friends with affluent audiences", "form new connections with company owners" and similar. The audience are people who you want to know about the event, and your name; even if these people or entities would not attend the event, reaching out to them will create significant value; and up to twelve months from the event, your invitees should be able to remember your name and your business and should be able to consider you when taking decisions, after a year of event organization, you may need to refresh their memory as such repeating the events is of importance to occupy a piece of the minds of your target audiences.

Once you clarify your goal and audience, simply brainstorm where your target audience converge; the answer would be mostly associations, clubs, member lists, institutions or organizations, but also you may target specific points such as readers of certain publications, attendees of a certain event, consumers of a specific service, customers of a specific business and similar.

Once you know where you find the people, you should devise a strategy to capture their contacts. In some cases, if you collaborate with local PR agencies, venues or art galleries, they may help you with their contact list; even if they may not outright provide you with their contact lists they may agree to send invitations on your behalf, likewise media members may send newsletters on your behalf to their audiences, it is of course important to choose publications or sending communications to contact lists aligned with your goals, and your audiences.

In general, the quality of people is more important than the quantity of people; it is better to have more relevant people than to have a lot of people; this would also give you the opportunity to have more time to spend with each valued guest and would help you more to accomplish your goals, unless your goal is to have images, photos or videos of the venue full of people, which is a valid goal; many organizers would use the design exhibition to attract new people, potential customers to their venue.

Once you have the goals set, the audience clearly identified, contact lists are made or contact methods are selected, you should design the invitation as well as a poster, with date and venue of the design exhibition noted. If you prepare a poster, it is generally good to note names of exhibited designers within the poster. A' Design Award can help you prepare the poster, invitations, and we will also create a certificate for each exhibited work on behalf of you. In any step of the process, you may contact the A' Design Award, and we will help you.



Exhibition Displays and Pedestals
If you wish to exhibit physical items, prototypes, models or products you would need exhibition displays and pedestals, sometimes called exhibition plinths, display counters, exhibition podiums or retail displays. These are easy to procure as well as to produce. In general, you would need white cubes made of wood. Normally art galleries, trade show organizers and trade fair exhibition design and setup companies would already have these in their warehouses. Trade fair setup and exhibition companies can rent these displays for short time periods. Retail interior design companies would also know where to procure them as these are commonly used in shops to display items, exhibition displays may also be ordered online.

Most common sizes for displays are as follows: For small objects: 40 cm (w) x 40 cm (d) x 120 cm (h), for long objects: 100 cm (w) x 50 cm (d) x 100 cm (h) and for large objects: 100 cm (w) x 100 cm (d) x 50 cm (h).

Thank You
Finally, thank you very much for your help. In the end, we prepared this page as we are trying to organize many more design exhibitions worldwide, and we know co-organizing with our laureates create value for our winners as much as it creates value for the laureate themselves. We hope we could organize an exhibition together, that creates value to yourself and to all A’ Design Award winners.
