Linear is an application to streamline the processes of finding your way around the city via local bus system. The app uses various systems to allow for a quick visualization of the location of your nearest bus stop and schedules.
Our client is the transportation agency for a midsize metropolitan area in the Midwest. The city has a network of public buses, and they currently list the expected bus schedule on their website and post it at each bus stop.
Our goal is to convert that online data into a mobile application so users can easily access that information.
Keep on screen information and UI design minimal to decrease cognitive load.
Key Features to include: Bus schedule information, city map view, and bus capacity.
Stay within scope of the project: One city in the mid-West, the primary user will live in or around the city and commutes regularly, and due to Covid, not many people are traveling into the city.
Design System: Think about how this app could fit within a larger system, how would it scale and how could we implement it in the physical space.
Synthesize research and converge findings into a site map, user flows, and wireframes.
Think about how the user will utilize the app and integrate it into their "journey".
Create low-fidelity wireframes and begin to implement some basic unified styling throughout.

Create a branding and style guide to implement and create consistency within the app.
Refine the wireframes and create a clickable prototype.
Users were generally able to get through the scenarios given.
A few issues were discovered with the tap target size of certain buttons
The user had a difficult time understanding the map interface and what each icon was communicating.
This was my first attempt at the full design process and it was a difficult task but I learned a lot from this process.
I gained an understanding of conventional design elements and how to implement them within a system.
By the end of this project, I learned how important the test and iteration aspect of product design is.
