Environmental Graphic Design for the Signage System of the Panji Museum

Rina Nurfitri, Ridhwan Putra Prasetyawan

Abstract

The Panji Museum, located in Tumpang District, Malang Regency, is a cultural institution that prioritizes the preservation of Panji folklore and the rich cultural heritage of the Malang region. However, the existing signage system has not been able to fully support the visitor experience due to the lack of clear, aesthetic, and communicative visual information. This study aims to redesign the Panji Museum's signage system using a Design Thinking approach, which consists of five stages: empathize, define, ideate, prototype, and test. Through observation, interviews, literature review, and documentation, it was found that the existing signage is inconsistent, not durable, and fails to comprehensively convey the narrative of the collection. The analysis results highlight the need for a new signage system that prioritizes functionality, aesthetics, readability, and the cultural narrative of Panji. The design focuses on orientation, directional, identification, and regulatory signage, with visuals representing local elements such as Malangan masks. This study produces a signage design concept that is informative, easy to understand, and supports the narrative of the collection, thereby enhancing the educational experience of visitors at the Panji Museum
