Faroar Index

museum and exhibition design, shaped around clarity, craft and a disciplined point of view.

Faroar Index is a fictional museum and exhibition design design organisation created as Interlink Apps catalogue design 421. The page architecture translates the organisation's real operating unit — the exhibition chapter — into navigation, evidence, case work, people, questions and conversion rather than relying on decorative hero content alone.

A representative museum and exhibition design engagement organised one exhibition chapter around a clear brief, accountable roles and evidence that could survive handover.

The team tested the design model under live constraints, recorded exceptions and translated every unresolved issue into a named next action.

07 / Questions

Is this a real organisation?

No. Faroar Index is a fictional Interlink Apps identity demonstrating a production-grade website for museum and exhibition design design.

How is delivery made measurable?

Every exhibition chapter carries scope, ownership, constraints, decisions, acceptance criteria and close-out evidence from the beginning.

Can this design adapt to another organisation?

Yes. Brand, imagery, terminology, sections and operating records can change while retaining the responsive, accessible information architecture.
