The two strong colors are a little garish, but I don’t think they look quite as bad on the actual piece as they do in the scan. The stripes do make it difficult to read the poem on the back. I assumed that the two colors cyan and magenta were used for cheaper two-color printing purposes, but I have no idea. Perhaps I just like it because it is something different.

As for what I’d do for Metro North? Lol, I have no idea, but I always thought it would be fun to be a designer for them, as I am not sure if I could give up design and go be a conductor or something (which I have a friend trying to convince me to do).

It’s really strong…

How would you redesign the Metro-North timetables?
