St. Michael's Fortress

The signage concept for St. Michael's Fortress is inspired by the multitude of preserved walls and the ground plan of the fortress, which forms an irregular quadrangle. Assuming that the fortification was never fully completed due to possible future adaptations related to advancements in war technology, the idea was to design the new layer holding the signage system in a way that represents the 21st century. Visitors can obtain all necessary information or directions via three different sign categories used for destination finding, orientation, or general information.

During the design process, each sign was given a functional layer containing a specific type of information—the text section is positioned on the lowest layer, while the arrow (indicating the direction of movement) is placed on the highest one. Since this signage system is applied to all the fortresses in Šibenik, the distinction between them is established by using colors defined by their visual identities.
