An implementation of an alternative design to the MTA Arrival Time Displays.
The goal of this project was to implement the case study design of the MTA display banners conducted by the designer Adam Fisher-Cox. I found the designs compelling and a welcome change and improvement to the somewhat crude and antiquated design of the existing displays. An initial web based implementation and proof of concept will lead into a React Native or native Android implementation that can then be utilized in a physical display. Where it goes from there is undetermined, but at the very least I plan on building my own display with this design and detailing my experience.
To summarize Adam's designs, the redesign offers to display more arrival time data at once and in a more intuitive and modern way, utilizing rounded 'cards', larger fonts, arrows, and animations. It does lack total parity with the current design though which leaves room for improvement.
