Rookery

Art Recollection Software

for casual, at-home collectors


Philosophy

Hello Rookery is designed to be joyful inside and out. Every line of code, and every user interaction is well-considered.


We organize art by room, which makes it much easier to manage. It also creates a more cohesive aesthetic for the interface; the art is already curated.


Design

The interface is stark, allowing the user's collection to shine. Penguins, nests, and Antarctica are the motifs.


The font JJannon is used for human-generated text (like art descriptions), and the font Söhne is used for machine-generated text (like dimensions).


Technology

Local - We help the users generate a uniform library of all the files within their art collection. Our interface helps them make sense of a complex mesh of documents and data.


Web - We help users get as much of their collection online as they want.


MacOS - We help users make better use of the Apple features that accommodate rich archival storage.


iOS - We offer a fun and compelling interface for touchscreens. This helps allieve the laborous process of data entry.


Pattern Language

We have a custom dictionary to ensure that language is used consistently between designers, developers, and users.


Our primary categories are Art Object, Room, Lobby, Art Index, and Room Index
