Produced by (or on behalf of) Newark International Airport, it purports to show regional rail services that you can connect to at the airport via its AirTrain. However, it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s so poorly thought out and executed that it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s of very little assistance at all.

The 🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划and most obvious problem is that everything – and I mean everything🔸澳洲幸运10预测 – is way too small. Labelling is tiny, with even smaller lozenges and bullets underneath the labels that may or may not contain the names of the different regional services and New York Subway lines: they🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页re almost entirely illegible. And it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s not like the canvas has no space to spare – there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s acres of room to make labels much, much bigger and more legible.

Speaking of the canvas, it really doesn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t seem to have been used wisely. Why bother showing most of the New York Subway, 🔸澳洲开奖 a simple indication of connecting lines at Penn Station and PATH🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s WTC station would suffice? Why show the Staten Island Railway at all 🔸澳洲开奖 it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s most certainly not a direct connection? This map would be so much more effective if it just concentrated on the regional lines that it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s meant to showcase and just indicated further connecting services where they occur. Get rid of the wasted space allocated to extraneous elements and enlarge the important parts for clarity.

Then there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s the background that can🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t decide if it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s a diagram or a map, wavering between simplicity and “geography” just about everywhere. And the way that the text indicating travel times cuts across the route lines 🔸澳洲开奖 there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s absolutely no need for them to do so. Simply aligning the text to the right would instantly solve this problem!

🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划final word: 🔸澳洲幸运10预测I really try to be more positive with my reviews these days, and look for at least one cool thing or redeeming feature to comment on for every map I post, but… I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ve got nothing here. To be honest, it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s kind of embarrassing that passengers are presented with this 🔸澳洲开奖 considering their transportation options to and from the airport.

I work upstairs in the old Grand Central and was every excited to check out the new station this morning. Spotted this new map on the wall down there, thought you might find it interesting.

澳洲10开官网开奖🔸澳洲幸运10预测 says:

Oh, I do like this. Graphically strong with bright, poppy colours and making good use of the unusual display format – eight vertical screens next to each other. The map looks to have been specifically designed for this format, as none of the labels cross over the breaks between panels – nicely done! Here🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s hoping it doesn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t get blanked out by advertisements too much!

It🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s hard to see in this photo, but it looks like there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s a lovely wavy texture to the water background, which is a nice design touch. Addition of ferry routes and points of interest on Long Island are also welcome. There are a few quibbles like the multiple angles for labels and the placement of some stations directly on corner points (the hard 90-degree turn that the Far Rockaway Branch takes from Valley Stream station looks particularly odd), but these are minor concerns. The typography and overall design is nicely evocative of Vignelli🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s diagrams without being completely derivative. Perhaps more art installation than useful map – I can imagine it would be hard to take the whole map in at once if you were standing in front of it – this is still some very strong design work.

🔸澳洲幸运10在线人工计划网s: “Scream VI” Subway Poster – Official and Unofficial🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页 https://transitmap.net/scream-vi-posters/ https://transitmap.net/scream-vi-posters/#respond Tue, 03 Jan 2023 15:00:00 +0000 https://transitmap.net/?p=20177

The next installment of the venerable Scream🔸澳洲幸运10预测 franchise will be hitting the silver screen soon, and a new poster promoting it was released on January 1. Seeing as the movie is set in New York and the 🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划trailer has shown that the subway plays a part in the plot, it almost seems inevitable that the poster would riff on a subway map theme. Here, each route line corresponds to a movie, with Line 6 – the upcoming film – cleverly shown as being “under construction”. Altogether, the lines form a rough outline of the famous “Ghost Face” mask.

I haven🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t paid that much attention to the franchise since I saw the 🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划one way back in 1996, but I believe that the “station” names on each line correspond to who dies in each movie, though fans are picking through it in much finer detail than I care to. One thing this means is that this actually isn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t a very good subway map, as there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s very little interchange between lines: once you🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页re dead in one movie, you🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页re not coming back in the next one (or are you?🔸澳洲幸运10预测). Some New York subway map purists are also taking the poster to task for playing fast and loose with the line colours – to them, the 1, 2 and 3 should all be red, and the 4, 5 and 6 should all be green. However, that would make a pretty dull poster!

However, the main talking point here isn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t the poster itself, but its perceived similarity to a fan-made poster by Gil Marcel, 🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划posted to his Instagram account on December 3, 2022 – just under a month before🔸澳洲幸运10预测 the official poster was released.

Like the official poster, Gil🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s assigns a line to each movie, but defines the “Ghost Face” more with geographical features than the lines themselves. As a result, his design perhaps evokes the actual New York subway map more than the official poster, which seems a little more generic.

It🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s had a lot of people crying plagiarism and theft of design (though Gil himself is being more diplomatic), but I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页m not entirely convinced. 🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划off – given the movie🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s location and plot, this basic concept is almost guaranteed🔸澳洲幸运10预测 to be one of the 🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划things that any graphic designer worth their salt would think of. It🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s almost a no brainer, and many art directors that I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ve worked under would dismiss it as being “too obvious”, wanting me to push harder for a more original idea. To my mind, it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s entirely plausible that these two concepts were arrived at independently of each other.

Secondly, the gap of a a month between Gil 🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划posting his concept and the official poster being released isn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t necessarily as damning as it looks. It🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s very possible that the official poster started development long before December 3, but had to cycle through multiple iterations and approvals before being released – things don🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t always move fast 🔸澳洲开奖 there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s multiple stakeholders in play.

So what do you think? Coincidence or plagiarism? Which one is the better executed? Is it even a good concept to begin with?

🔸澳州10开奖记录: New York Subway IND Division Map by Arthur Weindorf, 1942🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页 https://transitmap.net/new-york-ind-map-arthur-weindorf/ https://transitmap.net/new-york-ind-map-arthur-weindorf/#comments Fri, 09 Sep 2022 17:30:00 +0000 https://transitmap.net/?p=19955

Over on Twitter, Peter Lloyd – the doyen of new York Subway experts – has been showcasing the many maps of Arthur Weindorf (1885–1979), a perhaps unsung contributor to the rich transit mapping history of that city. Weindorf was something of an artistic Renaissance Man – he was a cartoonist, fine art painter, and architectural engineer for the New York Public Service Commission. As well as his many drawings and maps of the subway, he created three-dimensional models of the system that were displayed at the 1939–1940 World🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s Fair.

Of all the maps that Peter has posted, this hand-drawn preliminary version of an ultimately unpublished IND Division map really caught may eye. It🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s simplified, diagrammatic and surprisingly elegant in its execution, with colour-coded lines to bundle like routes together and a clear visual distinction between express (solid lines) and local/shuttle (pecked lines) services.

AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页 oddity of the system as shown is the short-lived Court Street station in Brooklyn, now better known as the home of the New York Transit Museum. Opened in 1936 with plans to be the northern terminus of the HH Fulton Street Local and with possible future extension into Manhattan, it closed just ten years later with service only ever being provided by a one-stop shuttle to the nearby Hoyt-Schermerhorn station.

Despite being drawn two years after the unification of the three divisions of the subway, the map still only shows IND lines, with the few free transfers to the BMT and IRT indicated by large callouts. From 1943, the New York Board of Transportation started using Hagstrom maps that showed the entire network, which might explain why this map was never actually published – the last remnant of the “old way” of depicting the subway.

Still, it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s rather glorious to look at!

168澳洲十开奖网: A New Geographical Map for the NJ Transit Rail System, 2022🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页 https://transitmap.net/nj-transit-rail-map-2022/ https://transitmap.net/nj-transit-rail-map-2022/#comments Fri, 12 Aug 2022 15:00:00 +0000 https://transitmap.net/?p=19919 The NJ Transit rail map has basically looked the same – and has retained most of its faults – since I reviewed it back in the very early days of the blog [November 2011, 1.5 stars], so it came as a surprise 🔸澳洲开奖 I discovered that that diagram has been replaced with a new geographical map this month. NJ Transit has been down this path before, with similar maps used around 20 years ago, though this design is considerably cleaner than that very muddy execution.

AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页 of the main problems with the previous diagram is that it simultaneously had to show a sprawling statewide network as well as local services like PATH, and the Hudson-Bergen light rail. Obviously, these are at very different levels of scale and detail, and the diagram struggled because of it, unsatisfactorily compressing the considerable detail around Newark/New York into a very small part of the diagram.

The solution chosen here – a statewide geographical map supplemented with local area insets where needed – isn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t groundbreaking, but it is effective and a massive improvement. The cleverest part is the way the bottom third of the map gets rotated 45 degrees counter-clockwise to save massive amounts of space: the Atlantic City Line runs neatly across the bottom of the map instead of having to drop towards the southeast. The map🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s border does a lot of good work here, clearly separating the two parts of the map, while making it clear that there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s continuity between the sections at Bordentown.

The diagrammatic insets are neatly drawn with a minimum of fuss, though the colours used for some of the light rail lines could perhaps be better differentiated: it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s a little hard to tell PATH🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s grey apart from the dull brown of the Hudson-Bergen light rail, for example. I also like it 🔸澳洲开奖 the background colours used in an inset are subtly different to those used on the main map, just to help set them above and apart. A leading line or arrow linking the insets to the part of the main map that they🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页re magnifying would also be handy.

🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划final word: 🔸澳洲幸运10预测One of those rare occasions where a geographical rail map is superior to a diagram. It🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s not perfect, but I think it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s definitely a step in the right direction.

I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页m sure you would find it interesting, as you have attempted to do the inverse of what Sean is doing.

澳洲10开官网开奖 🔸澳洲幸运10预测says:

This map is indeed the exact inverse of my project from 2019 to show the New York Subway in the style of the London Underground diagram, and arguably more successful as it actually works as intended (mine looks great, but is ultimately flawed as it cannot show service patterns).

🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划things 🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划– Sean has absolutely nailed🔸澳洲幸运10预测 the New York Subway map style, and perhaps even improved upon it in places – I note with pleasure that all of his station labels are set horizontally, instead of the many varied angles used on the official NYC map.

There🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s great attention to detail as well – all of the Tube route line colours have been swapped out with their closest MTA equivalents, meaning the 🔸澳洲10开奖网址 Line has the 7🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s purple instead of its traditional burgundy (strangely officially called “Corporate Magenta”). Similarly, all the deep tube lines get letters for route designations, while the shallower cut-and-cover lines get numbers – which emulates the letter/number distinction between the old divisions of the New York Subway.

A couple of minor things: I like to change the background col🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划in insets just a little bit to help differentiate them from the main map: just a little lighter or darker can work wonders. Also, I see that Sean is selling prints of this map… so he might want to reconsider that Underground Roundel in the bottom right, as TfL are known to come down hard on any unauthorised use of it.

AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页 final thing to note is that this map (as awesome as it is) really emphasises just how amazingly compact and space-efficient the Tube Diagram is – it fits legibly onto tiny Journey Planners, while this map seems to need at least an 11″ x 17″ canvas to work.

🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划final word: 🔸澳洲幸运10预测One of the best style mash-ups I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ve seen: technically excellent, well-researched and actually really informative. Wonderful!

澳洲幸运十是官网开奖吗🔸🔸澳洲幸运10在线人工计划网: New York City Elevated Rail Map by Jasper von Seeburg🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页 https://transitmap.net/new-york-el-jasper-von-seeburg/ https://transitmap.net/new-york-el-jasper-von-seeburg/#comments Mon, 02 May 2022 16:00:00 +0000 https://transitmap.net/?p=19655 Submitted by Jasper, who says:

This is a map I designed of the The New York City Elevated System, a proposed automated-rapid-transit system for the five boroughs, to be owned and operated by the City of New York. The 88-mile, 72 station network would run above the city’s major streets and freeways, connecting with 26 subway routes, LIRR and Metro-North commuter railroads, PATH train, a revised LaGuardia AirTrain, and over 120 city buses. The system would have three routes, two of which provide continuous loop services through f🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划of the city’s boroughs, while one provides a radial service stretching from the West Bronx to the North Shore of Staten Island. Its routes focus on growing access to rail service outside of Manhattan, specifically serving neighborhoods in some of the city’s largest transit deserts. The El would operate services that resemble rapid transit in frequency, but with speeds and station spacing akin to suburban rail, filling the current gap in New York’s transit modes.

The map took me a few years working in my spare time. Was my 🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划big illustrator project and it’s intended to be both familiar and striking. The design takes inspiration from several subway maps, namely the most recent 1979 iteration, which has been digitally simplified to an ugly and unnecessarily boring degree, in my opinion.

澳洲10开官网开奖🔸澳洲幸运10预测 says:

Oh, I like this! It seems to be envisioning a New York City that never tore down the Third Avenue El, but instead modernised and expanded it to serve all five boroughs. In this alternative vision, many of the old stops in Manhattan have been closed to turn the El into an express service – and if you look closely, only the cyan Roosevelt Line makes all stops in Manhattan, meaning the two loop lines would rocket along on the main trunk line!

Stylewise, the map definitely draws from the rich heritage of New York 澳洲10开官网开奖: the original 1979 Hertz/Tauranac map is definitely the biggest influence, but the legend box is subtly reminiscent of 1940s Hagstrom subway maps. with less stations to label than a normal subway map – which is wisely relegated to thin route lines with unlabelled dots – the typography can be made larger and more stylish. The comprehensive services box at each El station are clear and well thought out, showing which subway services can be accessed at each point.

Our final word: 🔸澳洲幸运10预测Successfully draws on previous New York maps to create something that looks like it belongs to the city while also being fresh and new. Nice work!

Hello! I just thought I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页d send you my attempt at making the NYC Ferry network a bit less intimidating to navigate. While many of the issues are with the network itself (the stopping patterns are absolutely bizarre), I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ve always thought the 168澳洲十开奖网 made the network far harder to navigate than it should be. So here🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s my attempt to fix that!

澳洲10开官网开奖🔸澳洲幸运10预测 says:

Like Evelyn, I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ve never really been a fan of the official NYC Ferries map: it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s sloppily drawn and can🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t decide if it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s a Vignelli-style diagram or a geographic map. Eventually it fails at being either, with too much room being taken up just to show the trip all the way out to Rockaway that could be better used to expand the complex East River routings and some absurdly overly-detailed coastline in Jamaica Bay.

Evelyn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s solution is distinctly diagrammatic and just looks so much better. The bold line colors cased in black really pop out of the sombre blue and grey background and are easier to follow as result. Some slight tweaking of the official colours has been made, especially to the Soundview route, which is much lighter than the official dark purple. Perhaps this makes the Rockaway and Soundview colours a bit too similar, but some tinkering could fix that pretty easily.

Labelling is generally good, though perhaps I would have stacked the Pier 11/Wall St label just to keep it well away from the St. George route line. The Brookfield Place Terminal and Corlears Hook labels are the only other area of worry: it might be possible to slide Brookfield Place a little further to the left to get a bit more empty space between the two labels.

Of particular note is that even though this is a schematic diagram, Evelyn has implied the long haul out to Rockaway without having to take up huge amounts of empty space in doing so – great work!

AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页 thing I personally don🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t like on ferry maps is too many sharp curves – ferries don🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t make tight 90-degree turns out on the water, but big, lazy arcs. So the section from Astoria to Roosevelt Island to Long Island City – a whole bunch of stacked 90-degree angles – bothers me on both versions of the map. I feel there has to be a solution that looks more naturalistic: maybe the route uses curves similar to those at the Brooklyn Navy Yard stop at Roosevelt Island, just to break up the rigidness of that part of the route?

Other things I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页d like to see: some sort of dash on the Governors Island (note that there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s no apostrophe in the name!) route line to immediately indicate its seasonal nature. The Staten Island Ferry – no, it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s not a NYC Ferry route, but it absolutely🔸澳洲幸运10预测 should be shown as an alternative for the travelling public. Finally, I believe that a route from Pier 11 to Coney Island will be launching before the end of the year, so it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s be great to see a version that incorporates that.

🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划final word: 🔸澳洲幸运10预测Compact, bright, and more than a little bit fun. Really, really nice work!

I have a Flickr and save these images from eBay listings and elsewhere. This is a sign from the former New York City Department of Traffic showing the M6 bus route, which was eliminated in 2010.

澳洲10开官网开奖🔸澳洲幸运10预测 says:

What a great little map! While the M6 may have been eliminated in 2010, this map is much older, as evidenced by both the very 1970s typography, the use of “Avenue of the Americas” instead of 6th Avenue, and the references to the Penn Central Railroad at both Penn Station and Grand Central – this last dating the map to pre-1976, 🔸澳洲开奖 Penn Central went bankrupt.

The map itself is really quite lovely, doing a lot of work with just tints of blue and white: the featured route gets the darkest shade, while all the other Manhattan routes get tinted back to be subsidiary to it. It🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s hard to see on the image, but the legend suggests that eastbound and westbound routes have a slightly different treatment to differentiate them from each other. Interestingly, the map highlights Penn Station, Grand Central, the Port Authority Bus Terminal, and PATH stations – but doesn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t mention the Subway at all.

🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划final word: 🔸澳洲幸运10预测A great monochromatic diagram that highlights the M6 well, but also provides good context at how it fits into the bus network in Manhattan.

Hi Cameron — hope you🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页re staying well these days. I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页m pleased to submit two maps I made to capture the North Atlantic Rail System. The system is a proposed high-speed rail network to connect New England🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s major hubs. In my map, I imagine it connecting to and interacting with the existing CT Rail, MBTA Commuter Rail, and Amtrak systems throughout the region. Taken in totality, you see a much more transitable version of New England. (I also added in some other proposed upgrades and extensions, like the Danbury Branch to New Milford).

This map obviously has some Vignelli inspirations, and this presented some unique challenges. Major termini (like Boston🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s stations, but New Haven, Hartford, and Springfield as well) become unwieldy quickly with so many lines converging. I also ran into a number of perpendicular transfer points that can lead to awkward and messy solutions. I think I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ve resolved these about as well as can be — just primarily by how easy it is to scan and understand which lines go where — but I don🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t know if I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页d ever be entirely pleased by some of these transfer points. And I unfortunately had to include some angled text; I tried to ameliorate my own issues with angled text by ensuring all angled text points in the same direction (so nobody would have to flip their head back and forth) and by being thoughtful on where and how it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s deployed.

The 🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划map (below) is what I call the “System Diagram.” This map helps you visualize coverage, but places extra emphasis on being able to quickly understand how to get from Point A to Point B — while considering all needed transfer points — over everything else, and sacrifices some readability and ease of use.

If the other version is a “System Diagram,” I called the second one a “Coverage Diagram.” Unlike the 🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划version, this one sacrifices a good deal of usability — there are a number of places where the need for a transfer, for instance, is obfuscated — but presents a much more legible view of the system. It🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s now far easier to scan through and get a sense of the full system and where it goes.

In addition to y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划thoughts on these two maps, I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页d be interested on y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划thoughts on which presents the greatest utility for the average user. Perhaps the second version, while simpler, is better — unlike a subway system, the average user won🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t be making travel decisions by a map these days! Or perhaps the full system diagram better conveys the breadth of options available. They both obviously have their own usefulness, but exploring the differences was a fun part of this project.


澳洲10开官网开奖🔸澳洲幸运10预测 says:

These are both really good diagrams, Nick – definitely evocative of the Vignelli style, and nicely executed. I like the slightly muted col🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划palette you🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ve used: the green, purple, and red work really nicely with each other and the light yellow background. The blue water is perhaps a little dark for my liking, but it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s not too bad. And I really appreciate that you took the time to explore both design alternatives here: this is how we grow as designers!

Some comments that are applicable to both maps before we move on to the question of which is “better”. Overall, these are very solid, though I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页d really like to see larger labels throughout. Y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划canvas is a 36 inch square, and y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划main station labels are set in 10-point with secondary labels are as small as 6-point. In my experience, this is a little too small to be readable at a reasonable distance 🔸澳洲开奖 printed out. Obviously, fixing this would require quite a lot of work to respace the map – enlarging the Boston area to accommodate the bigger labels and probably moving it up a bit to get rid of some of that empty space at the top right of the map would be my priority. The more rural areas can get compressed a bit to compensate. Even getting the labels up to 12-point would make a big difference, I think. And I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页d come up with a different solution to labels for lines leaving the edge of the map: having tiny labels set within🔸澳洲幸运10预测 the route line is always going to be too small to be useful.

So, which of the two diagrams works better? While I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页m always an advocate of a diagram or map showing each route in its entirety from beginning to end, I think you🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页re right in saying it doesn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t matter too much for this type of diagram. Network coverage is probably all a prospective rider needs to see, and it definitely presents a simpler, cleaner overview of the network. That🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s not to say that I don🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t think you🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ve done a good job with those major interchange stations on the system diagram, because you totally have. I think there is room to remove some of the ambiguity on the coverage map about routing for the Providence to Worcester Atlantic Rail line by separating it out more like the system map so that it doesn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t look like you can catch a train all the way from New York to Worcester: the radial or separated nature of the rest of the Atlantic Rail lines makes it pretty clear where they all go.

What do you think, readers? Do you have thoughts on which approach is more successful? Leave a comment below.

🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划final word: 🔸澳洲幸运10预测Kudos for taking the time to explore different design options! Get those labels up a bit bigger and these are both really solid diagrams!
