Thanks to everyone on Twitter alerting me to this new map! While there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s a lot of Washington, DC content on the blog, I haven🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t fully reviewed the official WMATA map since 2013, so this revision seems like a good time to look at again. 🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划off – let🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s set it out of 🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划system, everyone… SILVER LINE!

Part of a promotional brochure discovered by Reddit user Globalwrath while cleaning his grandmother’s estate, here’s a fascinating look at the early pre-construction history of Metrorail. Much of the actual current system is represented fairly well as the “Authorized Basic System” (thin black lines) and “Adopted Regional System” (thick black lines) with at-grade sections represented by pink lines instead. Station names are obviously tentative (Pooks Hill? Weapons Plant?), but the alignments are very familiar. Of perhaps more […]

Here’s an example of an overly designed strip map that’s gone horribly wrong. This photo was taken by Bryan Rodda, who notes that the sign makes it appear that Foggy Bottom-GWU is the name of the main interchange station between the Silver, Blue and Orange Lines in the center of the photo. Anyone who knows the DC Metro system will know that the station in question is actually Rosslyn, but the map makes this horribly […]

An interesting approach to an alternative DC Metro map by Peter Dovak, who previously submitted this fantasy light rail map of Louisville, Kentucky.  There’s quite a bit to like here: I love the circular abstraction of the beltway highway around DC, which is then centred perfactly around the District diamond. Peter’s even made sure that the “square” formed by the three main interchange stations – Metro Center, Gallery Place and L🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页Enfant Plaza – sits at […]

Long time readers will be aware of my low opinion of the Washington DC Metro Rail map – here’s a fairly scathing review of the “Rush+” map (March 2012, 2.5 stars) to refresh y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划memory. It looks like WMATA is preparing for the opening of the Silver Line and has put a draft version of a new map up for comments. According to the blurb there, the route lines are now thinner and station names […]

Many thanks to Matt Johnson for telling me about this amazing photoset on Flickr that details the process involved in printing the new Rush+ station maps for Washington, DC’s Metro system. Click through to see the whole set! Even as an experienced graphic designer, I was amazed to see that the maps are screen printed — each col🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划on the map is printed one after the other, each using a separate screen with its own […]

Even though I’ve never been there, I have a history with the Washington, D.C. Metro system. My redesign of it has proved very popular, winning the Peoples’ choice award in last year’s Greater Greater Washington “Redesign the Metro Map” competition. My general dislike of the venerable 168澳洲十开奖网 is fairly well known, but it’s still exciting to see this new version, the 🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划stepping stone on the way to the map that will be needed […]

Related to the parabolic map of the Moscow Metro, here’s a unique take on the Washington, DC Metro – as a spiral. A visually compelling image, and great at showing links between routes, but not actually that useful as a map. Have we been there? No. What we like: Amazingly creative way of re-imagining the system. Looks fantastic! Shows links between routes at transfer stations very effectively. What we don’t like: Absolute lack of geography […]
