Hue Shift Pop-Up Shop

A weekend summer pop-up shop showcasing Toronto design and illustration talent.

The Shop

Hue Shift was a one-time pop-up pop that I ran over two days in the summer of 2018.

I liked the idea of creating a store specifically to showcase Toronto creative talent - all the vendors I included were based in Toronto, and supplied a variety of merchandise from prints to pins to pillows.

The store was set up in gallery Black Cat Artspace on Dundas West over the course of two nights. I did the visual merchanising and worked out the user flow for the space.

I completed this project by myself, and it lived under the Toronto Design Directory umbrella.

Marketing &
Art Direction

Given the focus on colour in the name of the shop, I chose to focus on colour groups for art direction. I grouped items by similar colour with a similar background, and in a few cases contrasted or complimented the primary colours with the background for some visual interest.

These photos translated into ads and social posts used to promote the shop.
