MUSEUM OF CRACKS

A visual concept case study for Museum of Cracks,
including the development of a visual language, identity,
and compositional system.


The project explores cracks as a graphic element shaping
structure, hierarchy, and visual rhythm.

The prototypes explore the interaction between a strict modular grid
and fractured typography.


The grid stabilizes the composition, while distortions and cracks introduce tension,
rhythm, and guide the viewer’s eye.

as a visual system. Cracks are no longer defects,
but structural elements shaping rhythm, hierarchy,
and perception.
