Booth Shot Critique Please

Posted by Judy McSween on September 25, 2014 at 10:04am in Booth Examples and Reviews

I set up my tent in my backyard after a local show this weekend. After I took the front view, I noted that the side paintings were difficult to see, so I took the shots of right and left sides. I'd tried angling the side panels but that threw off the perspective, and it looked awful. I appreciate any and all advice you can offer.

Thanks,

Judy

    You need one more panel to put in the center. The table with table cloth doesn't do it at all. And throw away those feet on your panels, they stick out a foot on each side into your neighbor's booth. Use cable ties to connect the panels.

      Thanks. Good advice. I'm new, so I've had to watch costs as I acquire equipment. A few more sales, and I'll be able work on improving my booth as you've suggested.

    Hi Judy, I love the continuity of your work.  It creates a flow and ties in well together.  That looks very nice. 

    I also moved this post from the "Welcome to Art Fair Insiders" to "Booth examples and reviews."  I hope that didn't send you on a hunt looking for this. 

    I think once you make those few corrections your booth will be looking top notch.

    Hi Judy,

    I agree with Brian about the white tent behind your easel, it needs to be covered up with something...also, the tablecloth is too jarringly white, can you find one that matches the color of your panels?  Otherwise, stunning!

      Thanks for the comments, Christina. I didn't realize the white tablecloth might distract some viewers; I thought it would work because it matched the bright white of the tent.

    I think it's best to have it centered. It's ok if they can't see all the detail in the work, they are just looking for cleanliness and consistent body of work. I would recommend to remove the table in the center or at least put a panel behind it, seeing the white tent behind it is bothersome.

      Thanks for the advice, Brian. I only have six panels right now and I hung my sign in that space over the table at the art show with one small easel on the table. I've been lucky that I've able to display on both sides of my panels, but I now know I need to add to this so the booth shot is streamlined.

        Check Craigslist for panels, I found a full 10'x10' set of graphic display panels for only $250. every city is different, but here in Phoenix there are warehouses that sell those grid panels for $10-$15 each. Also look for retail stores closing, they usually will sell everything.
