As a senior designer at SEPTA, many of the skills and techniques I have developed as a designer are put to the test. Riders and customers of the transportation system need clear, legible information on their mode of transportation, and they usually need it immediatly so they do not miss their ride. Designs must be informative, prominent, and able to be understood by anyone, which makes the incorporation of images, braille, and multi-lingual text paramount throughout the system.
