Mobile Flight Information Interface
The intent of this project is to design an app that makes flight information at the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport accessible to travellers of all backgrounds. It includes two pages about active flights: arrivals and departures, and a third page displaying crucial information and resources.
Research
Research was conducted over popular flight information display systems and their common limitations. Most flight trackers were intuitively organized, however many lacked visible contrast between different flights and their status.
Sketches
Sketching began with ideating various button compositions. These smaller compositions were then organized into a full-page display.
Initial Exploration
The first digital steps were to create an identity through typeface and color selection. Various icons were selected from The Noun Project and a first digital concept was created.
Blue and yellow were selected as the two main colors, mirroring the Atlanta city flag.
Digital Ideations
Different list compositions were explored. Flights were ordered by alphabetical location instead of time, and the grey color was removed in order to streamline the composition. During this stage, subtle adjustments were made to the typographic elements of the flight information to assist in differentiation.
Final Display
The text size was increased for further accessibility. Small refinements were made to the alignment and button language.
