🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划of all, it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s important to note that is part of a new suite of maps and 🔸168澳洲幸运5正规官网2023 that🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s been in development since 2018. Using Montréal🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s iconic “black background” Métro map as a starting point, this system has been intentionally designed to use a common design language to “harmonise” the user experience for transit users regardless of travel mode. As seen in the photo below, there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s already a new Métro map out in the wild that uses the same design language, although everything has been subtly tweaked to suit the content of that smaller scale map better – look at the comparative thickness of the Métro lines, for example, or the fact that no stations on the REM or suburban lines are named unless there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s a direct interchange with the Métro.

🔸澳洲幸运10开奖官网开奖结果走势图🔸🔸澳洲10开官网开奖: Quite a few people sent me this image, which I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ve straightened and brightened in Photoshop. However, I don🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t know the original provenance of the picture. If it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s yours, please get in touch so that I can credit you appropriately!🔸澳洲幸运10预测

🔸澳洲开奖 I last reviewed the 澳洲幸运10开奖官网直播Métro map back in 2016, I wasn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t very impressed – it had moved away from its truly iconic 37-degree tilt to a more standard 45-degree octolinear form and just didn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t seem very polished or confident. It very much seemed like a transitional map, a placeholder for something better in the future… and I think the wait for this suite of new maps has been worth it.

Basing these new maps off the existing Métro maps provides great visual continuity with what has come before, but there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s also a lot of improvements – mixed-case station labels instead of all-caps (finally!), numbered bullets for not only the Métro lines but also the suburban rail lines, and a lovely palette of subsidiary pastel colours for the other services. Using a more standard 45-degree form makes sense now with the increased complexity of the maps, and the way that the space between lines 1 and 2 in the central part of the city has been increased to accommodate the rail stations and their labels is rather clever.

Purists might grumble about the horizontal orientation of the southwestern end of Line 1 (it just looks wrong🔸澳洲幸运10预测, even to me as a non-native), but it seems like a pragmatic decision that allows Line 14 to slot in below it on the full system map, and the legend to do the same on the Métro version.

The stylised background representation of the complex geography of the area seems about right to me: it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s not overly-detailed “faux geography”, nor is it simplified to the point where nothing is recognisable. Definitely an improvement over previous maps in my eyes!

I also like that the maps are future-proofed – the branches of the REM line and the future expansion of Line 5 are already plotted in, and it looks like there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ll be adequate room for labels as well – great to see! Not sure there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ll ever be full labelling for the Pie-IX rapid bus line, but it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s a long way down the hierarchy of the map anyway!

The “two-circle” interchange symbol at Sauvé seems a bit fussy to me, especially if you consider that by rights there should be one at Parc as well – there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s an outside walk involved in the transfer at both stations! A minor inconsistency, but something that should be carefully thought about. I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页d probably simplify it down to a single dot for simplicity🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s sake.

🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划final word: 🔸澳洲幸运10预测A massive improvement over the 2016 Métro map, and the fact that it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s part of what looks like a strong unified wayfinding and signage program makes it even better. It pays homage to the past, while also looking confidently ahead to the future of transit in Montréal.

My apologies for the glare in the photo [No problem! I also straightened the image for publication – Cam]. I would be interested to hear y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划thoughts on this 1982 Montreal Metro map. I found it in a preserved MR-63 subway car at Exporail, a railway museum outside Montreal. The map shows the three Metro lines open at the time with white stations, as well as the under-construction Blue Line and Du Collège extension of the Orange Line.

While the font may not win any awards for legibility, I think it fits beautifully with the map’s design aesthetic. There are a few station names that have changed since 1982 — I find the change from Vincent-d’Indy to the current Édouard-Montpetit particularly interesting. Lastly, I’m sure the makers of this map could never have imagined that the “Métro régional projeté” (given only a small mention in the legend) would be realized before the Blue Line to Anjou.

澳洲10开官网开奖🔸澳洲幸运10预测 says:

What a fantastically chunky iteration of the Montreal Metro map! Everything is thick and oversized, and it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s just wonderful🔸澳洲幸运10预测. The crowning glory is the use of ITC Bauhaus Black as the typeface throughout: it really shouldn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t work at all, and yet it somehow contrasts against and softens the blockiness of the map to balance it out nicely. Legibility is reduced slightly where the white text crosses the yellow Line 4, but it only affects a few stations.

Other nice touches are the line number bullets at the termini of each line: a square that continues in the direction of the line, but rotates the line number to remain horizontal; and the use of black station dots to denote planned future stations. The fact that Line 5 is only in its planning stage at this point in time helps to explain some of the station name changes: Vincent-d’Indy was an early placeholder name, but the station opened as Édouard-Montpetit in 1988.

Later versions of the map, like this one from 2012, made the waterways more geographical in mature, but I think the level of stylization on this version matches the chunky, diagrammatic nature of the route lines much better. It🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s interesting to see how many of the elements that make the Montreal map unique – the black background and the rotated rectilinear form especially – have remained constant, which helps maintain a consistency in design language (crazy display typefaces not withstanding!) over the years.

🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划final word: 🔸澳洲幸运10预测Chunky, bold and with a crazy font choice that somehow works: this is just great, and such a product of its time.

I got interested in a 🔸澳州10开奖记录 of the Moscow Metro featured on this site some time ago (November 2012, 4 stars). The radical simplicity of the visual language, using only straight lines and circles, gives a unique quality to the map, both in its high legibility and evocative power.

Realizing that it would be geometrically impossible to recreate this design to fit today’s expanded Moscow metro network, I started to apply a similar design language to a series of metro systems around the world, selected for the intermediate complexity of their network, allowing for a compact and unique-looking map, yet somehow challenging design-wise.

Building upon the original map of Moscow, I tried out ways to display additional layers of information: branching lines, route numbers, and interchanges to other public transit networks.

澳洲10开官网开奖🔸澳洲幸运10预测 says:

This is a great little project, Cédric! I have to admit that I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页m a little surprised at how well this style adapts to all the different networks, though Munich is probably pushing it to the absolute limits of what it can achieve. As you rightly say, this technique really works best on networks of “intermediate complexity”.

Of all the examples you🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ve shown, I think Milan is my favourite: a series of similar interlocking arcs all connected by the straight line axis of Line 3… wonderful! Montreal is also quite lovely, although I could imagine that people who live there could take issue with the representation of “north”, which they generally take as meaning “away from the river”.

🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划final word: 🔸澳洲幸运10预测Great work all around, and I look forward to more diagrams made in the same style in the future!

These are two maps I made for a class where I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页m proposing a trans-national maglev through what I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页m calling the “Greater Northeast Corridor.” Totally unrealistic, I know, but I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页d love to get y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划opinion on the map!

澳洲10开官网开奖🔸澳洲幸运10预测 says:

Oh, I do🔸澳洲幸运10预测 like this, Adam! 🔸澳洲开奖 you have proposed travel times of just 18 minutes between Philadelphia and New York (as just one example), the rapid transit diagram design metaphor works pretty much perfectly, and you🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ve executed things very nicely indeed. The tilted rectangle looks great, though I probably would have moved Montreal to be the last station along the top edge, rather than the 🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划station heading downwards along the left side – it just marries up a bit better with the geographical map (which is also nicely executed) and the idea than Canada is “above” the United States.

The inclusion of connecting local services in each city is a nice touch, although it seems odd to include Canada🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s Via Rail and not Amtrak as well. Surely the maglev system hasn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t supplanted it completely? New Haven should also have a CTRail logo, right? Also, the legend for the map has a dashed line for future planned routes, but that style of line doesn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t appear on the map at all: a minor nitpick.

🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划final word: 🔸澳洲幸运10预测As Adam says, it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s highly implausible that something like this would ever get built, but at least we can dream with this great map!

Some time ago you had someone submit a redesign of the Montreal map in the style of Harry Beck (August 2013), but noted it included a number of “un-Beckian” turns at the ends of the green line. Inspired by this, and that Montreal🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s system was manageable for a first-time designer, I removed as much of the geography as I felt I could. I picture this being the right sort of map for above the doors of a train car.

The map🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s odd angle came about by a bit of an accident, and is likely its greatest flaw, because it crowds out the station names in a number of places, and a steeper angle would likely do less of this.

澳洲10开官网开奖🔸澳洲幸运10预测 says:

I think this is an interesting way to depict the system within the confines of a narrow space, Max, and for the most part it works fairly well. Of course, there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s some necessary distortion to make things fit (including “north” being at both ends of the map where the two termini of the Orange Line are), but the indication of the islands helps with orientation somewhat. The twinning of the Green and Orange lines between Lionel-Groux and Berri-UQAM works well, as does the way that the Yellow Line continues along the slope set up by the Green Line – deftly done!

The main problem that I see –and it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s one that Max has already identified himself – is the spacing of the stations, which can shift from being quite cramped, to generous, and back to cramped again along the length of a line. An approach here could be to mark out the longest line – the Orange Line here with 31 stations – into completely even divisions, and then use that measurement as the basis of a grid to align the other stations on the map to. This would definitely help the left end of the Green Line to Angrignon, which seems the most cramped part of the map to me.

After that, look for more simplification and alignment of elements. The right end of the Orange Line could continue up its slope until it is level with the Blue Line and then🔸澳洲幸运10预测 travel horizontally, for example.

In short, I think this is a good concept that fits a lot of information into a tight space, but it needs some refinement to really make it work. Keep at it!

A map showing the extent of the streetcar network in Montreal in 1893. Most of the lines at this time were horse-drawn, though electrification of the system had already begun. “The Rocket”, Montreal’s 🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划electric streetcar, made its maiden journey in September 1892, and all lines were electrified by 1894.

After my frustration with the new Metro and AMT maps for Montreal, I decided to make my own including both. I took some of the key features from the Metro map (like the dark background and chunky lines), but put a more modern and cleaner twist on it.  Room for edits once the REM and Blue line extension open, as well as the possible Magenta line, were considered and made for (what I consider) an OK finished-product-ish map. It’s my 🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划map of quality, and also the 🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划I made with Affinity Designer after switching from Inkscape. The worst feeling is noticing an error after you rotated the lines 30 degrees, so you have to rotate them back again to use the grid properly!

澳洲10开官网开奖 says:

There’s a lot to like in this map: the angles are very visually pleasing, as is the differentiation between the chunky Metro lines and the thinner commuter rail lines (which are colour-coded by their downtown terminus, a nice usability touch). Heck, even the simplified geography looks great, which is no easy task in a map of Montreal!

And then there’s the station labels, which are way, way, way too small to be legible. At a minimum, I think they need to be as big as the small text in the legend. An oft-quoted rule of thumb (which originated with the London Underground Map’s style guide, I think) states that the x-height of y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划labelling typeface should be the same as the thickness of y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划route lines (in this case, that means the thickness of the Metro lines), and that’s probably a good place to start. Labels are arguably one of the most important elements of a good transit map, so it’s important to get them right. Here, I think they really undermine some otherwise excellent work, so a rethink would be good.

Montreal’s transit agency recently redesigned its commuter rail map, and I think it looks awful compared to the old one! They’ve added so much clutter, by indicating literally every commuter bus line in the city (and even illustrating which segments of the lines run on bus lanes) and using thick, colourful lines for the metro. The downtown segment is almost unreadable!

澳洲10开官网开奖 says:

Yeah, I have to agree with Ruofan’s summary of this map… this is pretty terrible stuff. Generally, if an inset map doesn’t actually make anything clearer, then you have to question its inclusion. All this one seems to do is make the mess of the central area ever so slightly larger…

As usual with a geographical transit map that covers a large area, there’s a lot of empty space that could be better utilised by expanding the central area for clarity and compressing the outlying areas. As it is, I’m really not sure that the addition of the Metro and the (unnumbered) commuter bus lines actually adds any useable information to the map, just a lot of noise.

🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划rating: Cluttered, messy and unattractive. 1 star.

I’m somewhat in awe of this project by Nicolas Kruchten, which shows full-length panoramic views of all the Angrignon-bound platforms on the Montreal Metro’s Green Line. To achieve the end result, Nicolas took video from the last window of a train as it departed each station, and then wrote software that stitched frames together into the final panorama, taking into account the train’s acceleration out of each station. Astounding!

Nicolas is toying with the idea of releasing posters of this project, so if you’re interested, head on over to his project page and let him know!

🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划things first: I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ve restored the map🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s most distinctive feature – the 30-odd-degree counter-clockwise tilt (older 168澳洲十开奖网s had this at around 37 degrees or so; I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ve decided to use 35 degrees purely because it makes the maths easier). From a technical standpoint, this meant I actually drew most of the map using standard 90-degree angles, then selected everything and rotated it 35 degrees to add the labels and other finishing touches.

Note that stations are spaced to achieve even and harmonious spacing between labels across the map: this means that station dots on the shallow-angled parts of the map are placed further apart than those on the steeper parts. There was a bit of trial-and-error to get this looking right, but it was worth it in the end! It certainly helped to expand the crowded central part of the map.

Simplification! I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ve always disliked the two ends of the Green Line on 168澳洲十开奖网s: they stair-step and wobble around in an overly complex manner compared to the simplicity of the Orange and Blue lines, so I simply straightened them out while retaining their relative trajectory. Similarly, the Yellow Line is now just a simple horizontal path – no kinked line here.

The routes of the AMT commuter rail lines have been straightened and simplified as much as possible, and care has been taken to only🔸澳洲幸运10预测 have these routes interact with Métro stations where an interchange is allowed. I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ve also taken the opportunity to introduce the official line colours for each branch in the directional arrows at the outer end of each route, just for a splash of brightness.

Labels have been set in mixed-case, which both enhances legibility and allows for larger text (substantially bigger than the current map). I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页be also introduced line number bullets, which are placed consistently at the end of each route, and are cross-referenced in the legend at the bottom of the map. These bullets are reserved for the termini stations only, and aren🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t used at stations where routes intersect. The interchange between lines is made obvious by the design of the map, and extra bullets at such stations would just take up unnecessary space.

The odd fact that all the elevators in the Métro system only serve Orange Line platforms allowed me to use a single icon for all of them, which works better than the 168澳洲十开奖网🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s two icon system, I think. The legend also states this fact explicitly, just to be sure.

Perhaps controversially, I haven🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t included the St. Lawrence River at all. The more I worked on this map, the more diagrammatic and simple it became. In the end, the river ended up feeling too “busy” and became superfluous to my needs. If nothing else, its absence serves as a point of comparison between this map and the official one.
