I don’t do Planograms, but I’d like too. I have graphic background as a draftsman, engineer, advertising man … even calligrapher and urban planner. How I’d love to play with the physical and graphic arrangement of product in merchandising. But too little time in this life. Nevertheless because so much of Fixtures Close Up touches upon or orbits around the planogram … impromptu or consciously pre-planned … here are links to starting points, definitions and software … “Planogram” courtesy of Wikipedia … and “Planograms” by Arcadia who teaches Visual Merchandising at City College of San Francisco. I am ill-equipped to truly recommend planogram research sites comprehensively, so please leave recommendations of your own as comments to benefit others.
