This graduation project explores how visual communication can interpret and present Jain heritage within a museum context. It approaches Jainism as both a religious philosophy and a cultural system, focusing on how values, rituals, symbols, and artistic traditions can be communicated with clarity and sensitivity. The process began with in-depth research into Jain philosophy, art, architecture, and devotional practices, which informed the curatorial narrative and spatial flow of the proposed museum. The design focuses on environmental and exhibition graphics, including interpretive panels, visual hierarchies, and supporting elements that guide visitors through a reflective journey. Considerations of legibility, materiality, and durability ensure the graphics function effectively over time. The project demonstrates how communication design can balance information and emotion, making Jain heritage accessible while preserving its depth, reverence, and cultural significance.
