The Metrocard Project

The Metrocard Project is an ongoing project that aims to redesign the iconic New York City Metrocard in a fresh way. It was created for Gail Anderson’s Communication Design class at the School of Visual Arts. Even though the current Metrocard design has been around for years, it could use a little updating. The card itself gets so much exposure and should be something thoughtfully designed. The purpose of the project is to show the many ways there are to design a better Metrocard and to promote better design within the city.
