FCS 375 (2) Visual Presentation and Display
Fall 2012
Instructor: Nancy K. Murray, Ph.D., nancymurray@pointloma.edu
Course Time: 11 am – 12:10 pm, Monday & Wednesday
Course Location: Evans 112 & 113

Course Description
The study of fundamental principles and procedures for successful visual merchandising of fashion and
interiors’ products in stores and media. Application of creative techniques to enhance product salability
is emphasized.
Lab • Prerequisite – FCS 115 or FCS 130
Fashion & Interiors Course

Why do both Fashion & Interiors take this course? Until recently a Visual Presentation and Display
course was only part of Interior Design programs. Now visual merchandising is seen as important for
both concentrations as well as many other areas of business, art and communications.

Interior design focuses on interior spatial design as well as promotion and selling of products and
design services. Fashion Merchandising focuses on designing and selling apparel and accessories.
Both areas of study must learn to arrange products in an eye-catching but cost-effective manner.

Policies and Procedures
1. Respect for Others and Classroom Atmosphere
1.1. ATTENDANCE and CLASS ACTIVITIES: Out of respect for everyone attending, class will begin promptly. Class
attendance is essential for success in this course because it is the only opportunity to participate in class
activities. Attending class is your current job. Show that you are responsible, and take this opportunity to
invest in your future career.
1.2. ELECTRONICS: During class, electronics need to be used for course-related topics and participation. Taking
notes and searching the Internet to contribute to discussions are valuable, but texting friends, answering
e-mails, or listening to music distracts you and others from the focus of the class.
1.3. CLICKERS: Dr. Murray will provide any clickers used. You must use the one assigned to you or you will
receive no points.
1.4. PUBLIC FEEDBACK BY INSTRUCTOR: Constructive public feedback will frequently be offered and solicited about
the activities and assignments in this course. It is important for all to realize that this public sharing of
what works and what doesn’t is an important part of growing as a knowledgeable professional. You will
listen and understand what is being offered to you and learn to evaluate and express constructive
feedback about the work done by your peers. This may be difficult to hear, but it is essential to learning
in this field.
1.5. CLASSROOM/LAB USE: We all recognize that it is nicer to come into the room and find it clean and tidy. We
all will take responsibility for using the room with respect and leaving it tidy regardless of the ease,
convenience, or how we found the room.
2. Course Assignments
2.1. LATE POLICY: Due dates are enforced rigorously. It is only fair to reward those who keep to the schedule as
this is an important value of the work world.
2.2. RUBRICS: Rubrics are used by the instructor to assess student performance. The purpose of a rubric is to
ensure objective evaluation of assignments. Rubrics are shared before assignments are completed to
provide details that should be used to guide creation of the assignments. It is important to your grade to
include all the items that the rubric outlines. If digital, the required file name is included in the rubric.
2.3. REQUIRED FILE NAMES FOR DIGITAL ASSIGNMENTS: All computer-generated items that are electronically
submitted for grading need to be saved with the file names assigned to them. This will ensure that your
work is credited to you and easy for the instructor to find when it is saved to her computer. File names
FCS375 Course Syllabus
Fall 2012
Page 3
always start with your last name followed by the course number and assignment name. Example: Doe499-ProductAnalysis.
2.4. PDF FORMAT REQUIRED: Assignments created on one computer and opened on another computer
frequently do not retain all formatting. You can protect your work from being corrupted by saving in a
PDF format before submitting for assessment. How to create a PDF document will be demonstrated in
class.
2.5. NONDIGITAL ASSIGNMENTS: Items that are not in a digital format are due at the beginning of class on the
date specified in the schedule.
2.6. IN-CLASS PRESENTATIONS: In-class presentations are required for this course. Talking to fashion & interiors
clients, workers, and vendors is a large part of what fashion & interiors’ professionals do at work.
Displaying visual work product, describing the process, communicating the effectiveness of a solution,
researching the market, selecting and negotiating with vendors, sourcing products, and working within a
budget are all integral elements in the fashion & interiors’ professionals work product. There is much
more to producing work product than just selecting products.
2.7. OWNERSHIP OF WORK PRODUCT: We like to show off our students’ work so the assignments completed in this
course may be used in course materials, on the department website, posted on the instructor’s Facebook
page, in grant applications, in scholarly publications, or in other materials. The instructor will never claim
your work as her own, but it may be displayed without your name attached.
3. Eclass
3.1. NAVIGATING TO ECLASS: Equip your computer with Mozilla Foxfire version that ITS at PLNU supports for the
use of Eclass. If you use a newer or older version of Mozilla Foxfire, or another browser such as Safari or
Internet Explorer, any work you submit or access may not register with Eclass and you may miss
deadlines, miss points or be unable to access information.
3.2. REGISTERING FOR ECLASS: This course has its website on what PLNU calls Eclass. You need to establish a
password to sign in and access the online course for FCS 375. Use the same password as the one you use
to access your PLNU portal. This will be demonstrated in class if requested.
3.3. USING ECLASS: Eclass provides access to course announcements, handouts, the PowerPoint presentations
used in class, weekly quizzes, and for submitting all digital assignments for assessment. It is important to
your success in the course that you regularly check Eclass and benefit from the information and
announcements posted. Regularly is defined as at least three times a week and to include the day before
each class meeting.
3.4. EQUIZZES: There is a quiz over the textbook reading each week. In order to receive any points for the
weekly quiz, you must complete and successfully submit your answers before class begins on Thursday.
Be sure to use the Mozilla Foxfire browser specified on eclass for all quizzes as other browsers may not
work properly. The quiz for the next week appears after class on Wednesday or Thursday (whichever
your course meets on), one week before it is due.
3.5. SUBMITTING DIGITAL ASSIGNMENTS: All assignments that are computer-generated are submitted via Eclass in
the Assignment folder. Eclass stamps the time on your submission. Consider this due date and time as
the deadline you must meet as you would with a client. Do not e-mail assignments.
3.6. DISCUSSION BOARDS: These are just like interacting in class—use appropriate language.
3.7. MY GRADES: You may access your grades on Eclass by visiting the Eclass website and selecting the My
Grades option. By clicking the score you receive on a quiz, you can access the quiz questions and answers
for future exams. Also, clicking the score for an assignment will give you access to grading comments
from the instructor. Adding all your points earned together, and dividing by the possible points, will yield
a percentage grade that can be compared to the grading scale.
4. E-mail
4.1. COMMUNICATION: A wonderful invention and the best way to contact Dr. Murray outside of class.
4.2. USE THESE GUIDELINES:
4.2.1. Use your pointloma.edu Gmail address.
4.2.2. Use the subject line effectively and include the course number.
FCS375 Course Syllabus
Fall 2012
Page 4
4.2.3. Allow 24 – 48 hours for a reply.
4.2.4. NO ALL CAPS.
4.2.5. E-mail is not for submitting assignments.
5. Emergencies
EVERYONE HAS THEM: Be responsible, communicate promptly and privately, tell the truth, and don’t take
advantage of the instructor’s goodwill. Each incident will be evaluated on its merits. Documentation may be
requested.
Academic Accommodations
While all students are expected to meet the minimum academic standards for completion of this course as
established by the instructor, students with disabilities may require academic accommodations. At Point Loma
Nazarene University, students requesting academic accommodations must file documentation with the Disability
Resource Center (DRC), located in the Bond Academic Center. Once the student files documentation, the Disability
Resource Center will contact the student’s instructors and provide written recommendations for reasonable and
appropriate accommodations to meet the individual needs of the student. See Academic Policies in the undergrad
student catalog.
Academic Honesty Policy
PLNU Students should demonstrate academic honesty by doing original work and by giving appropriate credit to
the ideas of others. As stated in the university catalog, “Academic dishonesty is the act of presenting information,
ideas, and/or concepts as one’s own when in reality they are the results of another person’s creativity and effort.
Such acts include plagiarism, copying of class assignments, and copying or other fraudulent behavior on
examinations. A faculty member who believes a situation involving academic dishonesty has been detected may
assign a failing grade for a) that particular assignment or examination, and/or b) the course.” See Academic
Policies in the undergrad student catalog.
The Department of Family and Consumer Sciences deems intellectual and academic integrity to be critical to
academic success and personal development; therefore, any unethical practice will be detrimental to the
student’s academic record and moral character. Students who present the work of others, which includes but is
not limited to borrowing another student’s work, buying a paper, or using the thoughts or ideas of others as if
their own (using information in a paper without citation), commit plagiarism. Students will be held accountable
for plagiarized material. Plagiarized work will result in a failing grade for the assignment and possibly for the
course. In either event, a written report will be filed with the department chair and be placed in the student’s
academic file in the department office.
FERPA Policy
In compliance with federal law, neither PLNU student ID nor social security number should be used in publicly
posted grades or returned sets of assignments without student written permission. This class will meet the federal
requirements by (each faculty member choose one strategy to use: distributing all grades and papers individually;
requesting and filing written student permission; or assigning each student a unique class ID number not
identifiable on the alphabetic roster.). Also in compliance with FERPA, you will be the only person given
information about your progress in this class unless you have designated others to receive it in the “Information
Release” section of the student portal. See Policy Statements in the undergrad student catalog.
Attendance and Participation
Regular and punctual attendance at all classes is considered essential to optimum academic achievement. If the
student is absent from more than 10 percent of class meetings, the faculty member has the option of filing a
written report which may result in de-enrollment. If the absences exceed 20 percent, the student may be deenrolled without notice. If the date of de-enrollment is past the last date to withdraw from a class, the student
will be assigned a grade of W or WF consistent with university policy in the grading section of the catalog. See
Academic Policies in the undergrad student catalog.

In-Class Displays and Presentations
 The 30 points for an in-class display or presentation are earned by completing all of the following:
- Design a plan or planogram and submit to Dr. Murray for approval in the class before the display or
presentation is due.
- DISPLAYS
o Follow your planogram to create a display by 11:30 a.m. in class on the due date.
o Mount and display your planogram with your display for all to compare!
o Evaluate your own display on the rubric provided (including comments).
o Evaluate a peer’s display assigned to you by Dr. Murray (including comments).
- PRESENTATIONS
o
o
o
Follow the plan discussed with Dr. Murray
Create and present to class your presentation on video or PowerPoint/Keynote.
Make comments on the audience feedback sheets for your own presentation and all of the one
presented by your classmates.
 CLICKERS or paper ballots will be used for display evaluations: the displays will be assigned numbers and, via the
clickers or ballots, we will poll the class to see which displays were evaluated on the rubric as most successful.
1. Prop Display
Create a display using a prop as an essential element of the design. The prop is not a product you are selling
nor is it a traditional display fixture; it is a support element. The prop may suggest the product to the viewer
or just be the right size or color to fit into the desired look. Again, the prop is not the item being promoted so
it should not overpower the product. It needs to be obvious what is for sale.
2. Home Fashion Seasonal Display
Create a display using home fashion items that get the viewer into the mood for a season. This should be
designed for a mantel, buffet or dining table. If for a dining table it must be a centerpiece viewable from 360
degrees.
3. Signage Display Video or PowerPoint Presentation
Find a minimum of two examples of excellent signage for the same product or business in a visual
presentation in an advertisement, magazine, website or store. Excellence may be achieved via the font,
unusualness, creativity, etc. Often the best signage creates a theme via its look and consistency. Use your
examples to show us more than a business sign on the door. Using video or still photos in a PowerPoint
presentation share your research with the class. Clearly explain why you feel signage is an essential element
in the visual presentation.
4. Lighting Display Video or PowerPoint Presentation
Find a display at a store or design showroom that uses lighting as an essential element of the design. Look for
something that if the lighting was missing, the impact of the display would be greatly diminished. Look for
more than a few spotlights. Using video or still photos in a PowerPoint presentation share your discovery
with the class. Clearly explain why you feel that light is an essential element in the display.
5. Décor Item (Partner Optional)
Create a décor item for display in a store out of plastic bottles, paper or recycled items. Furniture and
Designer Showrooms and stores like Anthropologie have made this kind of merchandising item very popular.
The final result should be a finished piece with a clear purpose and description of store or showroom where
it is designed to be used. No assembly needed when brought to class. A wall item should be mounted on a
backing or framed. A tabletop or ledge item should be in a container or on a platform. There is no need to
sell a product (although that would be great!), this is for general store or showroom ambience. It must “fit”
the location.
6. Plastic Body Form Creation
Create a work of art with the plastic body form you are provided. The idea is to make the plastic shape your
own. Paint it, decoupage it, wrap it in duct tape, etc. Be creative! Whatever you do with the plastic, you still
FCS375 Course Syllabus
Fall 2012
Page 7
have to display a product on it or with it! PLAN AHEAD! Women’s and children’s sizes are available. Can use
them as a décor item like artwork.
7. Plastic Body Form Display
Create a display using your work-of-art body form. Your form must be an essential element of the display—
do NOT cover it all up! No need to display it with clothing. Be creative!
8. Wild Card Displays
Within a 15 minute time period, each member of the class is asked to bring 10 – 15 items that could be used
in displays. The items can be products or props such as table settings, placemats, home accessories, art work,
clothing, makeup, shoes, sporting equipment, jewelry, fancy boxes, frames, fabric for draping, lamp,
furniture, seasonal decorations, etc.—whatever you can find. A multiple of similar items, or the same item in
several colors, is useful. All items will be returned to the student who brought them at the end of the class
period.
- By random draw, each student will select five items and may repeat the selection process in the same draw
order as many times as desired.
- All students may make a simple sign by hand or on the computer to add to the items selected.
- Each student will then be given two opportunities to make a display from these items.
In-Class 3rd Party Display

Learn to give directions to subordinates at work. Create a detailed planogram for a display.
Collect and bring to class on assigned day all the materials needed to complete the planogram display.
Don’t share this with your friends!
Each student will create a display using another student’s planogram and materials.
No collaboration will be allowed! You will be in a different room than the creator of your assigned display and
vice versa.
CD Portfolio
FCS 375’s portfolio includes the following:
rd
 pictures of each display (EXCEPT 3 PARTY and WILD CARD) and a scan or picture of planograms for each
