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 […]

I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ve been sworn to absolute secrecy on this project since mid-January, so I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页m very excited to finally share it. Early today, Field Notes (the purveyor of beautiful memo and note books) released their latest quarterly limited edition, “Mile Marker,” with cover designs celebrating the Interstate Highway system. Included with subscriptions – and available for separate purchase on the Field Notes website – is an old-school foldable highway map, designed by me in collaboration with the […]

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 […]

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!

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!

After almost two years of single-handed research, design, checking and cross-checking, I'm incredibly proud and thrilled to present my latest map project. It shows every single current and signed Interstate Highway and U.S. Highway in the contiguous 48 states in a style very similar to my previous Interstates as Subway Map and U.S. Highways as a Subway Map projects. Having made two separate maps that showed each type of road, I really had to at least try to combine them both into one map, didn't I?
