Boarding pass/fail
Posted by
Tyler Thompson was so frustrated with the design of boarding passes that he decided to take it upon himself to redesign a more user friendly version. Check out his site to see his progress and the input he has gotten from other designers. Its a hilarious read. Here is a taste:
“It was like someone put on a blindfold, drank a fifth of whiskey, spun around 100 times, got kicked in the face by a mule (the person who designed this definitely has a mule living with them inside their house) and then just started puking numbers and letters onto the boarding pass at random (yes, I realize that a human didn’t lay this out, if a human had, judging by the train-wreck of design, they would have surely used papyrus). There was nothing given size or color importance over anything else, it was a mess.”
Here was one of his proposed design alternatives for the boarding pass
