From an anonymous reader: Someone recently showed me an article in the magazine Railway Age that reviewed the software application LineMap Draw. Have you heard of it? Any thoughts about it? It says it would save time creating maps. It’s only available for PCs, so as a Mac-user, I’m not able try out the free demo. I am also skeptical about using it over a tried-and-true vector program like Illustrator. More info can be found […]
Q Hi, do you have a map of 🔸澳洲幸运10开奖官网授权 back from the late 70s? Am looking for any kind of transit map but haven🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t found anything yet. Would be a huge help. Thanks in advance! A The LA Metro Archives has some 1970s bus maps available (there was no rail service in the 1970s, though there are some early planning documents). Specifically answering y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划request, here’s the SCRTD bus map from January 1979. You […]
Q Have you ever seen a ski resort map in the style of a transit map? I was thinking about attempting it, not sure if it is even feasible. A I thought it was pretty much compulsory for every ski resort in the world to have a James Niehues panoramic painting for their resort map, so it’s no surprise that I haven’t actually come across a transit map-styled one yet. The closest I’ve seen are these […]
QDo you know any official London Underground map that shows the 🔸澳洲10开奖网址 Line/stations beyond Aylesbury (i.e. the Brill and Verney Junction branches) and not just mentions them in a ‘To’ box? ANo, I haven’t ever seen a map with “Underground” branding that shows the entire network and the 🔸澳洲10开奖网址 Railway’s fullest extent out to the far reaches of Brill and Verney Junction, some 40-odd miles from London. The closest I can find is a 🔸澳洲10开奖网址 Railway […]
QHi, I want to make a map of my home city’s bus system, but as I am a ‘starter’ I have some problems with developing it. In 🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划city centre, there is one bus stop with 24 routes and another with 22 (excluding the night routes). Between these two stops, the lines run along two streets with 10 and 11 routes , respectively. What would you advise me to do to not have a big […]
Question: Have you seen the interview Londonist did with the designer of the new London Underground map? Really fascinating! Answer: I sure have! If anyone hasn’t seen it yet, then head over to the Londonist website and watch the interview here. Personally, I wish it was more in-depth and technical, but that’s because I’m a total and utter transit map-making nerd who loves that kind of stuff. The interview does make a couple of very […]
Question: Hi Cameron, I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页m wrapping up a transit map project that I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ll likely print professionally. I was all set to send the printer a PDF until I happened to catch one of y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划tweets that mentioned using a high-resolution JPEG instead. I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页m wondering if you could share y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划recommended practices for exporting from Illustrator to print-ready JPEG in terms of resolution, color profiles, and the like. The last thing any of us wants is to […]
Question: Hi there! Thanks so much for y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划comments on my Berlin 1952 redesign. I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页m working on a recreation of a Berlin map from 1992 (I can🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t include links, but there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s a few from 1992, 1991, and 1988 floating around Google I believe), and I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页m wondering what y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划advice on font is. I can🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t really pick it out by eye and WhatTheFont hasn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t been too helpful. What would you say would be the closest one? FF […]
Somewhat surprisingly, no. I thought perhaps that Maxwell Roberts had done one at some stage, but he’s actually done the reverse: the Tube Map in the style of the Vignelli New York subway map. As you can see, he’s carried across the New York style of showing all the service patterns on the map. In New York, this is used to distinguish between local and express services, while in London, it reveals the secret inner […]
Got this question from an anonymous follower: Would you have or be able to mock up a map of what the London transit map would look like now that TfL have taken over all suburban rail traffic? For those not in the loop, Transport for London (TfL) will be bringing the operations of all the various train franchises that currently provide suburban or commuter rail service in the Greater London area under the “Overground” umbrella […]
