How Do I Visually Design An Event?

Are you planning an event any time soon? You’ll know how important, yet complex, it can be to create an event that:

1. matches the expectations of your event attendees
2. satisfies your goals
3. does justice to your brand

To achieve all three – in other words, to design an event from scratch – one that’s as perfect as it can be – will demand a vast amount of planning, ingenuity and event know-how.

You’ll want your event to allow your guests to enjoy an amazing experience that sticks in their minds for weeks, months and years to come.

Your event design, along with the event production, is a pillar on which to build your perfect event – a pillar without which your event simply won’t get off the ground.

We believe that a visual event design should:

• capture your event theme and atmosphere
• showcase unique features/props/points of interest
• create the space for audiences for optimum flow
• ensure a strong brand identity is represented throughout

Take a look at our dynamic content creation and event design services.

We create bespoke event visuals for all event types, set and stage designs, individual features and props, indoor and outdoor, and all scales.

A picture is worth a thousand words – making the most of digital visual technology

The phrase ‘a picture is worth a thousand words’ has never been more apt than in the field of event design. Pulling together your event design has to be a visual exercise.

Expressing your event ideas in words simply won’t work. You need to adopt this visual approach right from the start – right from when you design your event floor plan.

Until recently, you might have thought of the design process as simply creating a handful of sketches or drawings with measurements. Now that we’re in the digital era, there are many more efficient, effective and impactful ways of achieving your design goals.

Digital software such as CAD (Computer Aided Design), 3D event design modelling, virtual walk-throughs, augmented reality (AR) AI and even model building can be used to help you visualise any space you need for your event before you get down to production. We use a blend of them all.

Digital event design – how we work

Creating your event space

The first step is to define what your event space is. This could range from an indoor venue to an outdoor space – anywhere that you may be considering having your event.

Once identified, you have to work out the most effective way to transform your event space. Once you’ve identified your location, that’s when the digital event design part of the work comes in.

We can help you in choosing a transformative theme for your event which we can then bring to life in the event visuals. From immersive event themes such as Dream Circus to seasonal theming from Halloween to Winter Wonderland.

You’ll need to produce a digital render of the area. This will give you something to work with during the design process.

This is where an Event Design specialist, such as Julia Charles Event Management, plays such an important role. We’ll work with you from day one to ensure that every detail has been accurately captured and rendered.

Implementing our creativity into each concept, we produce unique visual designs with features bespoke to you. Should you choose we can then bring your visuals to life with our event production services.

Making event design changes ‘on the fly’

With the aid of digital platforms and software, we’ll help you to design your event space virtually. You’ll then have an accurate idea as to how everything will look on your launch day.

One of the great benefits of the digital approach is the ability to make changes ‘on the fly’. By using CAD, we’ll create a 3D model of your event space – a model that you can keep changing as you go along.

Producing a virtual walk-through

Once you’re happy with the digital render of your event, we’ll create a virtual walk-through by combining it with augmented reality (AR).

You can use this as part of promoting your event, giving potential attendees a virtual, life-like idea of what they can expect to experience when they arrive at your event. This also gives you a good idea of the flow your audience will take through your space.

By using digital technology in this way, the entire event design process will save you incalculable production time and money. You’ll also be sure of ending up with exactly the event design that you’d envisioned at the very start of the project.

Bespoke Props and Feature Design

An event space requires careful positioning of features and props to create optimal event flow and captivating points of interest.

Therefore an Event Design service must entail this part of the process.

When it comes to designing unique stand-out features we have it covered. Using a blend of sustainability and innovation we can create designs for your bespoke models.

Take for example our enchanted garden-themed lady. Our guests wanted a tailored design based on traditional posed garden statues with a modern twist. Designed to feel as though she has been uncovered by the guest’s overgrown foliage.

We sketched an intricate design for approval which was then sent off to the model makers and transformed into this vibrant green goddess!
