Yeah, I liked Julian Montoya's design the most because its vertical layout immediately conveys a hierarchy of data (though the gate number is omitted). The other designs, while aesthetically novel, required my eyes to jump around to gleam meaningful information.
- Pxtl 9y agoMy problem with Montoya's design is that he used 3 letter abbreviations for the cities... You need the full name. 3 letter airport abbreviations are jargon that should not be the core of user-facing interaction.
- dx034 9y agoThey can be important. It's important to know if you're flying to LHR or LGW (for London), esp if you're at an airport where planes of the same airline leave to both. Identifying the flight by flight number is often problematic if it's a codeshare flight (displays at the airport only show one or switch infrequently), so identifying by airport and flight time is easier.
