Very often a well-designed and well thought-out book exhibition is not in demand due to poor design. Therefore, the design of the book exhibition is of great importance. Here your reader has the opportunity not only to see the books, but also to pick them up. Exhibition decoration is a kind of design that has its own rules.

Instructions
Step 1
Think about the theme of your book show. It should have its own reader's address, that is, for whom the exhibition is designed: for amateur gardeners, for parents, etc. Use bibliographic indexes to identify and select books and documents for the exhibition.
Step 2
After you have selected all the necessary books, articles and other media, read them. Select those that fit the purpose of your exhibition. Give preference to those documents that contain new information and have an attractive appearance.
Step 3
Develop the structure of the future exhibition. It depends on the number of books and the place where it will be located. The exhibition should not be too crowded. Each document must be available for review.
Step 4
Having decided on the structure of the exhibition, go to the choice of the title. It needs to be catchy and exactly on the topic. 5 words will suffice. The use of winged words, aphorisms is possible. Define the titles of the sections, pick up illustrations, quotes. The font must correspond to the content of the exhibition. For example, a strict font is appropriate for an exhibition about war.
Step 5
The following items can be used for the exhibition: posters, reproductions of paintings, portraits, various objects that will help to recreate the image of a person or era.
Step 6
Start with the order of exposure. Books are distinguished by shape, tone and graphic representation. Use these differences for effective perception.
Step 7
Alternate the books by tone - dark, light cover. This alternation will help to emphasize and shade each subsequent book.
Step 8
Consider the size of the books. Place larger books in the center of the shelf. Or alternate - first a large book, the next - a smaller one. Do not rank books in ascending or descending order of size. Don't stack one book on top of another. You can highlight the most important book - put one on the shelf unfolded.
Step 9
For an exposition of articles from books - put it in a closed form and attach a card indicating the author of the article, title and page. It is inconvenient to place newspaper articles at the exhibition. Make a copy of the author, title, and source.
Step 10
Use no more than three colors when decorating a book exhibition. Color contributes to the creation of a certain mood. Young people love contrasting combinations, the elderly love muted, calm tones. If you decide to highlight or zoom in on a particular book, place it on the red stand. To advertise the book exhibition, make posters, hand out individual invitations to future visitors.
