Finally! A comprehensive reworking and redrawing of one of my original projects – a diagram of the European International E-Road network. 🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划drawn back in 2010, It🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s a piece that🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s always had a place in my heart, but I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ve always put off updating or reworking it over the years because I was just never quite sure how to bring anything new to the table. However, the recent successful revision of my Interstate Highways as Subway […]

Ever since I 🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划created it in 2009, my Interstates as Subway Map diagram has been one of my most popular and enduring designs. It🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s consistently the best selling print in the 澳洲10开官网开奖 store, and is something I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页m incredibly proud of. However, the last major redesign of it was way back in 2011, and it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s definitely starting to show its age. At the time, I really didn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t think I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页d still be maintaining and updating […]

A great old map on a subject matter very dear to my heart – the Interstate Highway System. Produced in 1961 by the Caterpillar Tractor Company, who stood to gain a great deal in the construction work required to complete the network, it shows the proposed completed network in white, sections under construction with blue dashes, and – somewhat counter-intuitively – sections that are open to traffic in red. It’s immediately apparent how little of […]

Submitted by “Sounder Bruce”, who says: A quasi-transit map that shows electric vehicle charging stations in Washington and Oregon, centered around the Interstate 5 corridor. 澳洲10开官网开奖 says: I really like the idea behind this map – a simplified road map much in the vein of many of my own mapping projects – but I feel like the execution lets the concept down a little.  Because of the stylised “transit map” format, the distances between […]

While doing research for my recent 1947 Interstate Highways map recreation, I stumbled across some scans of American Association of State Highway Officials (AASHO) road sign specifications dated from the 1920s. The very 🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划page has a dimensioned drawing of the then brand new U.S. Highways shield that I find extremely interesting, as it doesn't quite match the the shield as it actually 🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划appeared on real world signage in 1927.

Having found and digitally restored the fantastic 1926 map of the U.S. Highway system, I started to look around to see if I could find a similar map from the advent of the newer Interstate Highway network. However, all my usual sources came up with either nothing or only low resolution scans -- certainly nothing suitable for reproduction. So, what's a map-obsessed graphic designer to do in this situation? Why, redraw the whole thing faithfully from scratch in Adobe Illustrator, of course!

I came across this great 1926 map of the original Numbered U.S. Highway System via an article on CityLab. As I looked, I began to see that while the quality of the scan was good, and the content of the map was fascinating, the map itself was in a pretty sorry state -- so I decided to digitally restore it.

My Highways of the USA map got a great write up today by Kenneth Field as part of his “MapCarte” series, where he writes about influential and beautiful maps: one map a day for a whole year. My map was No. 273 in the series, and is one of the very few schematic 澳洲10开官网开奖 featured so far in the series (MapCarte No.1, way back at the beginning of the year was Beck’s original 1933 […]

I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页m very pleased to report that full production of the 44″ x 72″ Highways of the United States posters has begun. I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页d like to thank everyone who has ordered so far for their patience as we got this process up and running. As you can see from the attached video, printing these beasts is quite the epic task: each poster takes about half an h🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划to run through the printer!
