How do they match: Set and Exhibit Designers

  • Plan for location-specific issues, such as space limitations, traffic flow patterns, and safety concerns.
  • Coordinate the transportation of sets that are built off-site, and coordinate their setup at the site of use.
  • Design and build scale models of set designs, or miniature sets used in filming backgrounds or special effects.
  • Design and produce displays and materials that can be used to decorate windows, interior displays, or event locations, such as streets and fairgrounds.
  • Examine objects to be included in exhibits to plan where and how to display them.
  • Prepare rough drafts and scale working drawings of sets, including floor plans, scenery, and properties to be constructed.
  • Submit plans for approval, and adapt plans to serve intended purposes, or to conform to budget or fabrication restrictions.
