UI/UX

The user interface of the Indian train ticket booking website exhibits a notable degree of clutter, replete with superfluous elements that contribute to a lack of visual minimalism.

Recognizing this deficiency, I embarked on a project to revamp the UI, for an assignment project I was given, introducing a more streamlined design and incorporating additional functionalities, notably the option to select specific seats — an enhancement conspicuously absent from the original website(though there’s a valid reason for that, which we’ll dwell in a later blog).

For choosing the fonts, the challenge of finding the perfect font to encapsulate the essence of a minimal, luxurious, and high-end user experience was a pivotal point in our design journey. Faced with the task of striking a delicate balance between sophistication and simplicity, the quest for the ideal typeface was both intricate and crucial. After a meticulous exploration of various fonts, the answer emerged in the form of Urbanist. This font, with its clean lines, modern aesthetics, and versatile weights, not only met the specific criteria of our design goals but also seamlessly embodied the essence of the application. The decision to settle on Urbanist was a conscious one, as its ability to convey a sense of luxury and minimalism aligned perfectly with the vision we aimed to achieve. In adhering to the principle that good design limits the number of fonts to a maximum of two, Urbanist emerged as the cornerstone, allowing us to create a visually harmonious and polished user interface that resonates with our commitment to delivering a high-end experience.

A lot of thought and vision went behind each aspect of the application design. You need to have a clear idea of the design attributes that the project should emanate at first glance.
