Hertford Regional College

The UAL (Level 3) Visual Merchandising students at Hertford Regional College start-up project for this year was to collaborate with Herts and Middlesex Wildlife Trust to design and install a window scheme to promote the Trust.

The students explored the local Kings Meads area alongside a wider area of natural wildlife, exploring themes of mindfulness and wellbeing, and sustaining natural habitats within rural area for inspiration.

The first-and second-year students worked collaboratively, and each team were given a slogan to consider within their design to create and install a themed window display. The four slogans provided were: “Wetland Winters”, “Wonders of the Wildflower”, “Dragonfly Paradise” and “Walk in the Wild”. The results were both exciting and creative!

As part of the course, the Visual Merchandising students explore set design which was a huge part of this brief and gave the skills needed for employment for after their course finishes.
