visibility and individuality to merchandise displays. High
visibility from all sides is recommended. Challenge is to
create unique design concepts in their finishes, lighting,
signage and merchandising displays.
2.Primary emphasis is on creativity, individuality, dynamic
and three dimensional variety, quality materials, and most of
all, a strong retail image.

8. Counter design plays an important role in the perception
of the overall kiosk quality. It establishes the framework
for displays and is the element that comes into the closest
contact with customers. Counters are the “store front” for
the kiosks. Encouraged to combine multiple display
methods into an organized and balanced counter. Counter

11. Signage acts as an identity sign for kiosks’.
Signs are to be compatible with the overall kiosk design
concept and must receive the same quality of design and
construction.
Identity signs in general:

• may not advertise or list items sold.
Sign shop drawings for all signs, logos and graphics must
be visible from everywhere.

86. Conclusion:
1.The kiosk to be designed, should be suitable both for exterior, as
well as interior and would be best if its made prefabricated. Hence, a
proper site study is not essential.
2.Designing an easy to assemble unit, with lightweight materials is
recommended. The form of the kiosk must be made interesting. The
counter must be properly designed, as it will act as the “store front”.
3.Lighting must be made interesting as well. Dark kiosks with
contrasting colours catches attention fast. Equal importance must be
given to the signage of the kiosk, not sacrificing on the materials
chosen, and the construction technique as well.
4.Proper colours must be chosen, merging it with the exterior colours,
or making it stand out by using contrasting colours. Care must be
taken to provide proper exterior finishes to the material for
protection from climatic conditions, as well as vandalism.
5.Essential storage space must be provided, and should be kept
concealed.
