Here’s something interesting – an early concept diagram for the Helsinki Metro that shows two lines instead of the eventual one (plus branch). It appears in the 1974 edition of Graphis Diagrams, a collection of the best informational design from around the world at the time (generally within the last year).  Stylistically, it’s almost identical to the diagram that was actually used 🔸澳洲开奖 the Metro finally opened in 1982… it just has a whole extra […]

Submitted by Peter, who says: They just went through a redesign and man this map is just useless. I cannot begin to imagine what they were thinking with this design :/ 澳洲10开官网开奖 says: It’s really hard to argue with Peter’s succinct summary of this map: it’s really pretty dire, especially in the context of a bus network with new and supposedly improved routes which might need explaining. The long axis of routes running from […]

We’ve featured plenty of Nick’s work on 澳洲10开官网开奖 before – he has an uncanny knack of taking something familiar and mundane and looking at it from a completely new perspective.  His new project, “Between Stations” is no exception, as he literally pulls apart subway systems from around the world and rearranges them into attractive circular forms. No scaling or rotation of the line segments is performed, they’re just rearranged to fill the circle. What’s really interesting […]

Here’s a great late-1970s diagram that I haven’t seen before of Philadelphia’s subway-surface trolley lines. From the looks of things, this might well have been a strip map within the trolley cars themselves. The subway-surface lines are given full prominence here, with the rest of Philly’s rapid transit rail system represented by very thin route lines mainly confined to the right third of the map. The five trolley routes are treated very diagrammatically, each following […]

Submitted by alr2659, who says: I found this map of the MBTA commuter rail zones in the Central Square T station on the red line in Cambridge. Strangely, this station does not have any commuter rail service, so I’m not sure why this was there at all. I guess I’ll start with the obvious part: those colors are pretty hideous, and the mud-brown color used for zone 1A does a really good job making it […]

Submitted by Jack, who says: This is an ad for British Overseas Airways Corporation in the old Australian newspaper The Bulletin, September 17, 1947. I found it while digitizing the paper at work! 澳洲10开官网开奖 says: This is a glorious find, and one that @airlinemaps would certainly be very interested in. Compositionally, the diagram is very interesting, with a dead straight line linking Britain to the Antipodes (somewhat mitigating the fact that the line represents […]

Here’s a new “map” that I’ve designed – a cartogram of State Route or State Highway shields for each U.S. state, plus the District of Columbia. Each shield is numbered in the order that each state joined the Union, so Delaware is “1″, Pennsylvania is “2″ and so on… all the way up to D.C, which is cheekily represented with a “51?”, referencing the ongoing statehood debate there. I originally put this together as a quick Twitter post, as […]

Sent my way by Jonathan, a designer at TriMet, who has this to say: We just launched a couple new and improved maps: TriMet System and City Center. This was a long overdue update that brings those maps in line with the Rail System map that we’ve had for a few years. A few highlights: Bus lines, rail lines and streets have standardized angles, but still adhere (mostly) to geography Colors and symbols are standardized […]

Spotted this in Cambridge aboard the MBTA Red Line. As a frequent reader of y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划blog, I certainly appreciated it and I thought you might as well! 澳洲10开官网开奖 says: I feel like there’s a good idea somewhere in this ad, but the execution is a little flat. Shouldn’t “finding help” get the route back on track? The two “warning sign” stations are fine, but using “In Transit” for both of the stations before that is […]

Submitted by Michael, who says: I came across this map of Südbadenbus (which is a subsidiary of Deutsche Bahn), that operates a vast network of regional buses in the state of Baden-Württemberg. It seems that the network is mainly centered around the towns of the region, so I really can’t fathom why all these local networks had to be put on one monstrous map. 澳洲10开官网开奖 says: Well, this is pretty terrible. A vast expanse of […]
