I don't know if it's because I played video games and I always look for ways that would make my life easier, but I always pay attention to little things in design. For example, signage. Today when I went to the airport, I had no idea where the arrivals were. All it would take is a simple indication with an arrow that takes "arrivals." Or when I finally arrived, I found the corridor that was employed by all flights had a giant "British Airways" plastered on the wall, confusing me for a bit as I tried to ascertain where the other airlines' arrival points were. Another example is convenience. They had the display for the arrival times facing a completely different direction from the seats, so if you wanted to check the status, you had to get up and walk around a pillar to see what's up. I'm not a professional and yet I notice these problems in design. How the fuck am I picking these up but not the people actually creating these places?
