Icons and Shapes
Any of these shapes could be used for station
icons or final destination icons

Text

• BOLD font and capital letters can indicate key
  stations or final destinations
• ITALICS could be used instead
• sans serif fonts work best as they are easier to
  read

Text could be arranged in the station icons

Design Commentary

• For the lines I decided to use arrows to give the
  routes a sense of direction
• I used circular icons to connote smoothness and
  create the effect of flowing motion
• I used lines for the various stops to remind the
  audience of a railway track
• I used a mixture of bold and italic font to
  highlight key points as well as underlining
• I highlighted Belfast Central station with red,
  like the lines from my logo
• I used the green colour to remind the audience of
  Translinks old colours

This part of the route no longer exists and so I
will leave it out of my final design
