Amtrak Crescent Line Schedule

The objective of the assignment was to redesign the schedule for the Amtrak Crescent Line. The main problem we had to solve was to dissect the original schedule and redesign it in a way that could becunderstood by anyone (including grandparents), and work with a visual hierarchy so the most important information could be easily noticeable upon first glance. The main challenge I faced was how to
reform the actual Southbound and Northbound schedules, and my approach was to combine them into one table broken up by the different routes with color and to make each read from top to bottom, as that is the way most read. The only information I included in the schedule was the station, arrival time, and departure time. I filled up the first page of the Amtrak paper with the schedule, and on the
second, included the map of the route and services on the Crescent. Underneath the schedule on the first page had a small writing informing its readers of the
Handicap-accessible stations. I believe my redesign adds value because it gives all of the information in a straightforward, understandable manner that also
has an aesthetic look to it that could draw the readerin more. I believe this graphic would be successful in communicating the important aspects of the Crescent
Line.
