I’m happy to show and tell you about a great and very interesting project I’ve done last year. Tashkent Metro wayfinding:

In airports and at public-transport stops you sometimes see displays that try to show more than they can physically fit. How to design them well:

Check out the Superpedestrian fleet management interface that I’ve come up with:

Designed by Nikolay Romanov, directed by myself. Special thanks to Sergey Chikin and Leonid Motovskih.

On the left is how Apple Watch displays a swim workout, on the right is how it could. And below is what you can see in both cases, if your goggles are fogged up (Photoshop simulation).

Apple’s design is silly: what’s the point of using small type when you can use large type? But it’s especially silly that even if you enable enlarged fonts in the accessibility settings, it doesn’t apply to the workout screens anyway.

Our Tashkent metro map was updated and has become an official map:

Originally designed by Timur Repin and myself. The new version also used some input from Yulia Cherevataya and Alibek Musabekov. Come to us for more map design.

Designers, how can you justify using these buttons?!
This is how Figma messes things up with its UI3. They say more space is available for content. It’s not only false, the exact opposite is true. In addition, there is constant noisy flicker in the gaps on the sides. Bad UI from literally every point of view.
