Visual Merchandising
Creating a brand display isn’t just about what looks good. It’s about appealing to human psychology — and understanding why people respond to visuals the way they do.
Visual merchandising plays a critical role in the culture and perception of a brand. Our visual merchandising programs can help you gain the skills to leverage your own success.
When you study visual merchandising, you’ll explore different display elements and principles, learn about design language and acquire techniques for product presentation. You’ll develop skills in prop construction, styling and working to an industry brief.
In short, with a Swinburne visual merchandising course behind you, you’ll have the confidence and skills you need to succeed in the workplace. Browse our courses to find detailed course information, application dates, entry requirements, fees, subjects, ATAR calculator and more.
