Below is the web design history of the Huy Fong Foods company, the makers of the much loved Sriracha sauce. The top image is from now, and the bottom is from the Wayback Web Archive.

Sometimes creating a great product and having patience is all you need.

GOOD Design: Making Transit Centers into Community Hubs

J.B. Chaykowsky — Mon, 27 Aug 2012 04:00:31 +0000

I had the opportunity to lead a group of concerned citizens for the GOOD Ideas for Cities Dallas. GOOD Ideas for Cities taps creative problem solvers to tackle real urban challenges and present the solutions at live events across the country.

Here was the challenge statement that was given to us by the Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART):

It’s a common perception that Texans won’t take transit, ride bicycles, or walk, other than to get to their pickup truck. Now with the largest light rail system in the United States, it is time to change Dallas’ image into one of a truly multi-modal city. How might we transform the 55+ stations in the system into centers of social and economic activity, creating a vibrant network of communities connected by various modes of transit?

Serving 13 cities and over 700 square miles, DART is a combination of light rail, bus, and a diesel commuter rail. It’s light rail system currently extends over 77 miles with 58 stations. When completed in 2014 DART will be the largest light rail system in the country.

We developed a multi-prong approach by seeking out engagement to the arts and community, developing technology that would educate the public on the benefits, businesses and events that are available along the rail line, and, finally, finishing up with discussion on how to develop transit centers that are community centered hubs of activity with pop-up events, pocket parks, and more.
