The User Interface
The UI is very simple and uses Merseyrail branding colours. I used grey and yellow as the main colours and orange for buttons to make them stand out and the buttons were also right aligned for usability reasons - namely people read left to right and also most people are right handed. White was used to show selection, for instance on departments. Simple icons were used for phont / email and pink. There was also an admin section which could be used on desktops where it was easier to add and remove numbers for instance.
How I worked with Stakeholders
I needed to work closely with Merseyrail to make sure the information they needed was shown simply but also was easy to use and understand. I worked closely with the front end developer to ensure my designs were suitable for Androids.
