This certificate enables students to understand the importance of visual merchandising, and its impact on the success or failure of the retailer. Through analysis of the store layout, lighting, fixtures, props, window, and in-store displays the students learn the importance of creating a store's image. Course assignments include creating displays within the display cases at JCCC and case studies on individual retailer's use of visual display to encourage the sale of fashion apparel and accessories.
