Ana Domínguez’s graphic design concept for the exhibition series Panorama, as well as for its first edition, “Notes for an Eye Fire”, is an integral part of the projects’ communication, linking the physical exhibition with its online counterpart.

 

Domínguez worked closely with Lara Coromina for both commissions, along with Pau Geis and Ana Habash, all of her studio’s team members.

 

The Panorama identity is based on a customised version of the Du Nord Macba typeface and a stamp-like circular wordmark. Developed for the web and social media, the design expands the letters of “panorama” into a series of black-and-white switchbacks and arabesques that recall concrete poetry.

 

The graphic concept for Notes for an Eye Fire reflects the vitality and heterogeneity of the exhibition’s participants, and draws on some of the key refrains from Gabriel Ventura’s homonymous 2020 poetry collection — not least the notion of creative insurgency, the power of the word, and the thwarting of sight. Through a visual language of volcanic eruptions, billowing smoke screens, and motion lines, Domínguez and her team use illustration to break apart the title and fire off allusions to the exhibition.
