Develop a concept for an imaginary museum centred around everyday objects, establishing its purpose and identity through the design of a website in Figma.
The circle became the primary design element. Through iterations, I focused on incorporating this into the design of both the logo and the website, using only black and white for the logo iterations and website wireframes.
The Museum of Circular Objects (MCO) is an ever-growing archive dedicated to circular objects found in everyday life. By collecting and categorising these objects, the museum creates an open resource that can be explored and reinterpreted by artists, designers, and curators.
Rather than presenting a fixed collection, the MCO invites creatives to use its archive as a starting point for creating new narratives and immersive exhibitions, transforming ordinary circular objects into new experiences for everyone to explore and enjoy.
I named the museum “The Museum of Circular Objects” (MCO). These are the initial logo iterations, exploring different ways of using the circle as the primary element of the identity.
These are the initial wireframe iterations for the website, exploring how the circular elements could fit into the layout. I experimented with different ways of arranging the objects and organising the archive, while figuring out how users would navigate through the collection.
Objects in the archive are viewed differently based on their form.
Flat, circular objects are shown in their regular view, while cylindrical objects are viewed along their axis to highlight their circular form.
The Museum of Circular Objects houses all the circular objects under the sun.
I picked a sunny yellow (#FDE602) as the brand colour following this narrative.
While designing the archive page in Figma, I had the grid lines turned on. My faculty pointed out that they looked good against the yellow background, so instead of hiding them, I decided to keep them as part of the design. Sometimes, design is about happy accidents.
I noticed that Zürich has a lot of contemporary posters for its museums. After looking into it, I came across the Museum für Gestaltung Zürich, which commissions different designers to create posters for its exhibitions. Taking inspiration from this, I created a contemporary poster for my museum, using it as an opportunity to explore the concept beyond the website.
