Iterating through Boarding Pass redesigns
Apr. 9th, 2010 05:16 pmI love getting to look over a shoulder as someone gets creative. And today via Adam Savage's twitter feed I got to do just that when he pointed to this blog post, Redesigning the Boarding Pass by a guy named Tyler Thompson.
He starts by showing a recent boarding pass he received and notes the rather user-unfriendly design and mentions that it prompted him to pull out a notebook and start sketching out possible redesigns, all the while thinking back to recent airport experiences and asking "When and why did I look at my boarding pass." Then he starts considering improvements he could make to that redesign. For added enjoyment he has posted updates with designs other people have either encountered or come up with. Including a credit card sized wallet boarding pass.
