![Why This Exhibit Design Works](https://classicexhibits.com/tradeshow-blog/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Exhibit-Designs_web2.jpg)
Like you, we see thousands of exhibit designs each year. And because we’re human, we have opinions about each and every one. For example, we may like a particular fabric graphic or a custom counter or the clever way a bridge connects to a backwall.
What Makes an Exhibit Design Effective?
What if someone asked you to describe “Why a Particular Design Works?” We accepted that challenge. Below are 4 Symphony Portable 10 x 20 designs, each organized into three categories:
- Structure Design
- Branding Opportunities
- Function
We ignored the existing graphics because graphic designers can get pretty mean. And no one wants that. 😉 We assumed the basics about Symphony, like tool-less assembly, SEG graphics, and portable shipping so those aren’t listed in the descriptions.
SYK-2018 Symphony Portable
Imagine the backwall without the counters along the aisle. Everything is balanced. The frames, the workstations, the iPad mounts, the monitor, and even the graphics. The SYK-2018 is a sophisticated design with satisfying shapes and practical accessories. It’s comfortable and compelling without appearing portable. Now add the counters and the package is complete.

SYK-2004 Symphony Portable
If it’s hip to be square, how about a rectangle? Of course! The SYK-2004 takes three rectangles and shifts them into unfamiliar places. The large frame is left aligned, and the smaller frames are shifted right and staggered. Yet, the off-center monitor provides visual balance while creating two overlapping zones.

SYK-2023 Symphony Portable
If you crave symmetry, then SYK-2023 may make you uncomfortable… at least at first glance. However, the curves complement one another, and the stair-step footprint gives the inline complexity not found in a typical flat portable display. Lots of branding opportunities and practical accessories.

SYK-2025 Symphony Portable
As a design element, peaks are peaking right now. The SYK-2025 offers portable clients a non-portable look with some serious branding opportunities: (2) backwall graphics, (2) workstations, a counter, and a charging table. The mix and match approach isn’t for everyone which is why peaks can be paired with curves in Symphony.
