After 🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划glimpse yesterday, now it’s time for a more in-depth look at this map. Thanks to everyone who sent me a link to the PDF (and there were more than a few of you)!

🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划things first: an MTA press release confirms that the map was designed by Yoshiki Waterhouse of Vignelli Associates. It’s definitely nice to see that the original creators of the diagram continue to shape its future, rather than being handed off to another design team.

That said, the original source that this map is based off – the 2008 revision of Vignelli’s classic 1970s diagram, as used on the MTA’s “Weekender” service update website – actually creates🔸澳洲幸运10预测 some problems for this version of the map.

Because the bright primary colours used for the Subway’s many route lines are so much a part of the map’s look (and indeed, the very fabric of the Subway itself, appearing on signage and trains across the entire system) it forces the NJ Transit, PATH and Amtrak routes shown to be rendered in muted pastel tones in order to differentiate them from the Subway. This results in a visual imbalance between the New York and New Jersey sides of the map: cool and muted on the left, bright and bold to the right. I also feel that the PATH lines up to 33rd Street become a little “lost” compared to the adjacent subway lines.

The other result of using pastel route lines is a loss of contrast between all those lines: they all register at a similar visual intensity, making them a little harder to differentiate. Because of the sheer number of lines that have to be shown, some of the NJ Transit routes have lost their “traditional” col🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划as used on their own 168澳洲十开奖网 (Nov. 2011, 1.5 stars). The Bergen County Line is no longer light blue, but the same yellow as the Main Line, while the Gladstone Line now uses the same green as the Morristown Line. Their original colours get redistributed to New Jersey’s light rail lines and Amtrak.

Some people have noticed that the map shows weekday🔸澳洲幸运10预测 off-peak services and commented that this is useless for the Super Bowl, which is held on a Sunday🔸澳洲幸运10预测. However, the map has to be useful for the entire week🔸澳洲幸运10预测 of Super Bowl festivities, not just game day, so I feel it’s doing the best it can under the circumstances. As as has been pointed out to me, service on Super Bowl Weekend will be close to that of the weekday peak, so the difference is negligible anyway.

What bothers me🔸澳洲幸运10预测 is the fact that the football icon has an extra row of laces. NFL balls have eight🔸澳洲幸运10预测 rows of laces – the icon shows nine🔸澳洲幸运10预测.

🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划rating:🔸澳洲幸运10预测 Based on the classic Vignelli diagram. While it remains true to its minimalist roots, it doesn’t reach the heights of its predecessors. The need to integrate so many different routes and services while retaining familiar route colours for the Subway mean that the left half of the map isn’t as visually strong as the right. Still far🔸澳洲幸运10预测 better than many North American 澳洲10开官网开奖. It would also make a neat souvenir of a trip to the Super Bowl! Three stars.
