Panorama is a prototype of an archive of the graphic design in French-speaking Switzerland available online. This platform is the result of a research project conducted at HEAD-Geneva initiated in 2014 whose main objective is to map the profession of graphic design in French-speaking Switzerland. Within the framework of this project, we limited our data search to one medium (posters), one time frame (1964-2014)* as well as one geographical area (French-speaking Switzerland).

The Panorama database provides access to a wide range of information essential to the reading, understanding and analysis of graphic design in both its historical and contemporary dimensions. It responds to a need to create a tool for graphic design professionals, students, agents and researchers. In addition, its online access allows for the development of a previously inaccessible heritage.    
* This time frame is now extended to 2022. However, due to the scope of the project, the database does not guarantee completeness.
