CIVIS: Predictive Public Transit & Flow Ecosystem

Project Overview

CIVIS is an intelligent public transit coordinator concept designed to make massive urban centers move like water by adapting transit schedules to real-time disruptions. This project was a capstone brief set by Bimbo Oni Studio under the industry theme of Smart Cities & Civic Intelligence. The brief asked for a six-scene illustration system and supporting spot illustrations that communicate both the structural, algorithmic intelligence of a predictive transit system and the internal human emotions of urban congestion and relief. The deliverable was not a UI design project. It was a visual storytelling project, one that needed to make a viewer feel the problem before they understood the solution.
