Project overview
The goal of this project was to use Figma to prototype an app interface for the Atlanta International Airport. I wanted my design to feel nostalgic and retro. I drew a lot of inspiration from vintage luggage tags and license plates to capture the excitement of travel that I feel is lost in the modern day. Another main goal was to gear the design towards people with ADHD. One of the biggest struggles associated with ADHD is poor time management, so I wanted the flight times and gate numbers to be the clearest information.
basic typeface and color experimentation
When selecting a typeface, I was initially torn. I really liked the vintage travel tag/ license plate vibe of compressed Trade Gothic, but Inclusive Sans seemed to better align with the ADHD-focused design. I ultimately chose Inclusive Sans because its number display is far more readable than Trade Gothic, and I wanted to ensure the flight times stood out clearly.
Interface design system exploration
expanded Interface parts
Refinement of whole screen
I wanted the interface to be colorful and high-contrast, similar to old luggage stickers and license plates. I ultimately based the palette in blues because blue is a calming color and airports can be stressful enough, especially for neurodivergent people, and my main goal was to make travel less stressful and more fun and exciting.
