Metro North Ticket Kiosk Project - Task Analysis - Concepts

These are my sketches detailing the stages involved in buying a ticket or Smartcard and updating a Smartcard for Metro North.

Metro North Ticket Kiosk Project - Buy Ticket

Weekly/Monthly Pass Chosen

Single/Return Ticket Chosen

Cash Payment Chosen

Card Payment Chosen

And this is the 'Buy Ticket' option.

Metro North Ticket Kiosk Project - Top Up Smartcard

Cash Payment Chosen

Card Payment Chosen

My final design for the Metro North Ticket Kiosk screens. Inspired by my experience of buying tickets and topping up a Smartcard for the DART, I took both approaches when designing the screens. This is the Smartcard option.

Route and Station/Local Attractions

The proposed route is located in different sites/centres which will cater to a varied cohort of customers. The route begins at one end in the main city centre business/shopping area and significant stops take in Hospitals, a University, the Airport and residential areas, both mature and newly developed.

Interface Design - Kiosk Design 2 - Personas

Personas, in the world of user experience design, identify and paint detailed key customer profiles and so help designers and information architects best identify the behaviour, desire and expectations of a specific group of customers or potential users.

In this project, to design a ticket kiosk for the proposed Metro North stations, I've taken a group of individuals with varying needs in relation to the use of the kiosk.This can be referred to in the design process to ensure that all needs are satisfied in the final design.

Information Design - Instructional

The brief was to create a design which would give instruction on how to carry out a particular task - first using images only and then adding text. I couldn't believe it when I came across a website dedicated entirely to different methods of tying shoelaces - http://www.fieggen.com/shoelace/lacing.htm. I traced the diagrams in Illustrator but wish I'd changed the colours as it looks like I just copied the drawings. I promise I didn't!
