Retail Point-of-Sale Design

Project Overview
As part of Dr. Pepper's partnership with the College Football Playoff, I designed retail point-of-sale materials that brought the beloved "Fansville" campaign to life in stores. Working from a provided key visual, I created an aisle blade, shipper display, and pallet topper that drove excitement around college football season while encouraging shoppers to participate in the Fansville Rewards program for a chance to win tickets to the CFP Championship.
Strategic Approach
-
Balanced high-impact visuals with clear call-to-action messaging
-
Incorporated football iconography (stadium, fans, field graphics) to reinforce the CFP partnership
-
Featured product variety (Dr Pepper, Diet Dr Pepper, Dr Pepper Zero Sugar) to maximize shelf space utilization
-
Ensured QR code visibility and "Fansville Rewards" branding for seamless consumer engagement
-
Stick to the Key Visual provided!




What I Did
I translated a Fansville key visual into three cohesive in-store touchpoints, each designed to maximize visibility and shopper engagement.
Aisle Blade: Vertical signage featuring bold "Gameday Tastes Better in Fansville" messaging with product showcase and clear promotional call-to-action.
Shipper Display: A four-tier floor unit with branded header and shelf wraps, designed to hold product while reinforcing the Fansville world and reward program messaging across multiple consumer sight lines.
Pallet Topper: An overhead stadium-inspired structure with "Welcome to Fansville" theming, complete with fan silhouettes and field graphics that create an immersive game-day atmosphere at high-volume retail locations.
Throughout the project, I balanced high-impact football visuals with Dr. Pepper's signature brand colors, ensuring each piece was attention-grabbing while maintaining clear hierarchy for the promotional offer and QR code.
