OVERVIEW
The objective of this UX/UI project was to create a flight information display system (FIDS) for the Atlanta airport. The display is intended to cater towards elderly travelers, emphasizing contrast and legibility to attain a high level of accessibility. The main goal was for the design to organize flight information in an effective hierarchy that is clear and easy to understand.
RESEARCH
FIDS from other airports were studied in order to determine what was working effectively and what could be improved upon.
SKETCHING
Exploratory sketching was necessary in order to discover the most effective, easy to understand layouts and hierarchies.
DIGITAL DEVELOPMENT/HIERARCHY EXPLORATION
Different interface parts and hierarchies were then explored digitally, and in color, to examine their effectiveness within the context of a mobile app.
COLOR & TYPOGRAPHY
FINAL INTERFACES
The result is a high contrast, cohesive, accessible airport app that any traveler could use, especially elderly passengers. The large, legible typography allows travelers to follow along with maximum ease, while the complementary color palette allows even impaired eyes to distinguish different pieces of information.
