Submitted by Alec, who says: Long-time reader here with my 🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划submission, a redesign of Atlanta🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s MARTA rail system. I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ve always been puzzled as to why the colors in MARTA🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s logo don🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t reflect those of the lines. For this map, I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ve “rebranded” the line colors, which has the added benefit of making them easier to distinguish for those with colorblindness. I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ve named the lines after their unique terminals, which erases the potential confusion for tourists […]

Just to show that there’s always a different way to approach the same design problem, here’s a completely different reworked Tube Map by art director/designer, Rich Cousins. Like me, Rich seems to have reached a breaking point where all the additions to the Tube Map over the years have made him say, “there must be a better way!”, although his criteria for a successful redesign are quite different to mine. Note that this map dates back […]

Other maps have shown the extent of accessible services on the Underground before, but the newest one I know of is from 2011, which is before the distinction between "street-to-platform" and "street-to-train" was made on the map. Here's my version of those two maps, with before and after comparisons with the whole map.

Maps in underground stations on the Muni light rail network in San Francisco have raised route designation letters and route lines, as well as braille labels for station names. Nice! I know that it’s entirely happenstance*, but I really appreciate the fact that the M, K, and T lines appear next to each other on the map, making an “MKT” for Market Street. *Historical aside: Muni streetcar letters were originally assigned alphabetically in the order […]

Col🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划blindness affects a small but significant percentage of the population, mainly males. It is estimated that around 7 to 8 percent of men are red-green col🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划blind (the most common type of col🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划blindness), while less than one percent of women are. Strangely enough, I knew a girl in high school who was col🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划blind, but I digress… 澳洲10开官网开奖, as informational design, should pay attention to how col🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划blind users perceive them.

Older transit systems like the London Underground face huge problems with access for disabled users. Originally constructed at a time 🔸澳洲开奖 such things were not thought about, retrofitting is expensive and difficult. Sometimes, even stations that rely on elevators for platform access – like Russell Square on the Piccadilly Line – are still not wheelchair-accessible, because there’s still a flight of stairs between the elevator and the platform. So what does the London Underground look […]
