Airport


Zurich Airport

As I was looking through the different sites, this is the only one that caught my attention. When you think world class airports, you expect something big, something beautiful and of course a plane. This website has taken the screen real estate and made perfect use of it by putting the image of a plane right in front of the airport. I felt like I was at the airport just lost in its huge lounges and wanting to explore more. Most of the other airports try to stuff information in and make you feel so congested but this site just leaves it open.

Unfortunately thats where it ends. The rest of the pages are boring and informational. Rarely do you see an image. I like the three clocks on the top, but I wish they had taken that idea and incorporated more time zones. It would have made a good design. I also hate the briefcases that keep floating around at the bottom and I don't understand the scroll bar at the top.

Zurich Airport has no type treatment to it or a logo. I think there is so much potential with the idea they have established. Maybe someday they will run with it.
