the dali museum iconography

Medium: Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop

Year Created: 2017

Process: The Dali Museum has an app which includes a list of all of the paintings in the Permanent Collection. However, sometimes some of those paintings aren't on view because they are either on loan to another museum or undergoing restoration, causing confusion and disappointment for some guests. To solve this problem, The Dali wanted to place icons over the paintings that weren't on view to indicate to visitors that these paintings were temporarily unavailable for viewing. The graphic design team created a plethora of options for both the "on loan" icon and the "restoration" icon. Below is a mockup featuring some of the icons as they would appear on the app. The mockup was created in Photoshop and the icons were created in Illustrator.
