“It is never a case of adding and adding until the window is
full. An effective display is installed with great attention to
visual balance, the use of focal points that aim to draw
the customer’s eye into the centre of the scheme and
then led the viewer through the contents of the window,
and the use of appropriate props that support the
product and build up the window scheme.”
- Tony Morgan
