Elegant design: bartkiosk.com
Two friends of mine at the Berkeley School of Information, Ben Cohen and Ljuba Miljkovic, have put together a really fantastic final project for a course in user interface design: a redesign of the BART ticket kiosks.
Check out their vastly improved approach, at bartkiosk.com. They’ve created an elegant and simple workflow–and made it beautiful, to boot. I’m hoping that the BART management people hear about it, and realize what a great thing has been dropped in their laps.
Easy to read and navigate--a great improvement!
Some background information for non SF locals: BART is the Bay Area Rapid Transit system, and its current interface is pretty cruddy. Poorly organized information, and lots of unnecessary button-pressing–which gets especially frustrating when you’re about to miss a train!
