Hi Cameron, 🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划I would like to mention that I greatly appreciate y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划work and have learned lots about 澳洲10开官网开奖 from y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划blog alone. It was also this blog that inspired me to try to design my own maps. It🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s a great joy to me now. Here, I would like to share with you my take on the network in Valencia which, I thought, would be a fun challenge. For the line and station design, I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ve chosen a similar style to one that I used in my Bay Area diagram. My goal was to make the Valencia map more aesthetically pleasing, simplify the geometry, and come up with a different idea for the zone boundaries. I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页d love to hear y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划opinion and things you think can be improved. Looking forward to it!

澳洲10开官网开奖🔸澳洲幸运10预测 says:

Apart from one thing (which I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ll get to later), I absolutely adore🔸澳洲幸运10预测 this diagram, Tom. 🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划off, I love the typeface used (Cera Pro), which has a wonderful legibility to it as well as having one of the best sans serif capital Q🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s I have ever seen – just lovely. The open feeling that Cera Pro creates continues throughout the rest of the diagram, which feels clean and spacious throughout – nothing is crammed up tight to anything else, which is so nice to see.

Unlike the official diagram [review from June 2022 here – Cam] which doesn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t bother with any sort of mode differentiation (it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s all just “Metrovalencia”), Tom🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s diagram differentiates between the more suburban rail lines and the urban tram lines in two subtle but very effective ways. The rail lines are cased with a darker shade of their line col🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划and🔸澳洲幸运10预测 use a much larger radius 🔸澳洲开奖 they change direction compared to the tram lines. These larger curves are another part of what makes this diagram so elegant, but the tram lines need tighter radiuses, especially for the loop Line 4 makes at its eastern end – Tom🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s solution accommodates both needs.

Other nice design touches: subtle drop shadows throughout lift the station markers up above the route lines; the texture on the sea is delightful; and the zone backgrounds are lovely and subtle – a far cry from the “in y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划face” colours used on the 168澳洲十开奖网. They may actually be just a tad too🔸澳洲幸运10预测 subtle, but I appreciate the different approach. The diagram🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s legend is clean, easy to understand and is integrated nicely into the overall design of the piece, instead of being an afterthought.

So what🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s the one thing I don🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t like? The exaggerated angle that the urban area of the diagram takes. In reality, Valencia🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s “north” is tilted about 20 degrees clockwise from true north, and the maritime district isn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t that much further south than the historic core of the city. So seeing everything rotated on a huge 45-degree angle, with the maritime district pushed so far south (and the Ciutat de les Arts i les Ciències pushed even further out of place), just looks jarringly wrong. The distinctive “green belt” of the old Turia River parkland mitigates this somewhat, but it still looks strange to my eyes.

🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划final word: 🔸澳洲幸运10预测A stylish, elegant diagram with a lot of modern design touches that perhaps strays just a little too far from being grounded by the real world layout of the city it represents. It🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s still pretty darn awesome.

I work upstairs in the old Grand Central and was every excited to check out the new station this morning. Spotted this new map on the wall down there, thought you might find it interesting.

澳洲10开官网开奖🔸澳洲幸运10预测 says:

Oh, I do like this. Graphically strong with bright, poppy colours and making good use of the unusual display format – eight vertical screens next to each other. The map looks to have been specifically designed for this format, as none of the labels cross over the breaks between panels – nicely done! Here🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s hoping it doesn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t get blanked out by advertisements too much!

It🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s hard to see in this photo, but it looks like there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s a lovely wavy texture to the water background, which is a nice design touch. Addition of ferry routes and points of interest on Long Island are also welcome. There are a few quibbles like the multiple angles for labels and the placement of some stations directly on corner points (the hard 90-degree turn that the Far Rockaway Branch takes from Valley Stream station looks particularly odd), but these are minor concerns. The typography and overall design is nicely evocative of Vignelli🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s diagrams without being completely derivative. Perhaps more art installation than useful map – I can imagine it would be hard to take the whole map in at once if you were standing in front of it – this is still some very strong design work.

🔸澳洲幸运10开奖官网开奖结果走势图🔸Update: Better images of each panel in this Reddit post.

I would like to share the TRAM d🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页Alacant fare zone map. It describes the different zones and stops of this tramway/narrow gauge train in the Spanish province of Alacant (Alicante). It🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s been reopened recently after six years of renovation works.

澳洲10开官网开奖🔸澳洲幸运10预测 says:

This is a fairly solid diagram that shares a lot of design language with the transit map of Valencia (reviewed in July 2022). This is perhaps understandable, as it seems that the Generalitat Valenciana has at least overseen the design of both maps. Like Valencia, the main urban area (Zone A) has been expanded in relation to the rest of the map, which is basically one corridor running up the coast to Dénia some 45 miles/70 kilometres away. The city is similarly represented more geographically, while the outer reaches are diagrammatic with evenly spaced stations from one end to the other.

Line 3 (Yellow) acts a local service for Line 1 (Red), which runs express within the urban limits of Alacant most🔸澳洲幸运10预测 of the time – the legend explains that 🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划and last trains each day on Line 1 stop at all stations. This is indicated by the red line being visible through the white “shared station” symbol, which I don🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t find particularly intuitive – I wonder whether a dot on Line 3 with a longer tick line crossing Line 1 would have been more effective?

I have two main issues with this otherwise competent diagram. First, the representation of the coastline is overly fussy and poorly drawn. Do we need the little bumps near Benidorm? Or the wharf (or whatever the heck that is) near Calp? And if it is somehow important to show the port/marina area in Alacant itself, then show it properly🔸澳洲幸运10预测, instead of cutting it off at the bottom of the canvas. The non-standard angles at the top of the diagram used to represent Cap Martí drive me insane.

Secondly, the legend looks like an afterthought just thrown down wherever. As with the Valencia map, the legend inexplicably gets broken up by a zone boundary 🔸澳洲开奖 there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s plenty of room to fit it all within Zone B🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s space. The typesetting is also poor – some entries have a very long 🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划line (longer than an optimal reading length) and then a very short second line. It🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页d be much better to balance those lines evenly to create a more compact, readable block of text. I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页m also a proponent of always starting a new line with each change of language, instead of running them one after another on a single line – it just makes it explicit that a change is taking place.

🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划final word: 🔸澳洲幸运10预测Competent enough, but let down by some strangely unpolished design choices with the coastline and legend. Does the job.

An interesting map of Paris🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页 Métro and RER network found in a restaurant in Montreal. The map🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s designers seem to have made the most of a limited color palette by assigning the same color to groups of lines that do not intersect–lavender for 2, 8, and 3b, brown for 11 and 6, magenta for 12 and 7, etc. Unfortunately it seems they could not avoid breaking this rule at Strasbourg-St. Denis.

The best I can date this map is to between Dec. 1982 (Line 7 opens a new branch to Le Kremlin – Bicetre) and Feb. 1985 (this branch is extended).

澳洲10开官网开奖🔸澳洲幸运10预测 says:

The 🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划thing to note that this diagram – which I believe was designed as a postcard by C. Spandonide (see name at bottom left) – is very old and faded from being on this restaurant🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s walls for goodness knows how long. Here🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s another copy of it on Flickr that shows what it originally looked like. Note that it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s dated to 1984, which seems about right.

That said, Hayden🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s comment about the limited col🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划palette still holds true. Despite being printed as four-col🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划process (which allows for almost any tint or shade desired), the Métro routes are shown in only six hues – yellow, red, green, blue, brown and purple. The yellow and blue used for the RER lines are ever-so-slightly different to those used for the Metro lines, but it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s still an interesting design decision. It🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s even🔸澳洲幸运10预测 more interesting 🔸澳洲开奖 this diagram is compared to a contemporaneous official RATP “Micro” diagram designed by Fabrice Rouxel.

Look closely – you can see that there is the exact same🔸澳洲幸运10预测 breakdown of six colours assigned to the Metro lines on both maps, though some of the colours used are slightly different. So, red on the Spandonide diagram relates to pink on the Rouxel diagram and these colours are both assigned to lines 7 and 12. And so on: green is to light green for lines 4, 7b and 9; blue is to aqua for lines 5 and 13, etc. What we can infer from this is that this is simply how the lines were officially designated at this point in time. The Spandonide map has simply tweaked the hues slightly, perhaps to avoid copyright or licensing issues? The modern pastel route colours that we now know so well simply weren🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t in use in 1984.

The unavoidable double-up of green at Strasbourg–St. Denis isn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t too bad as the lines cross at right angles, neatly avoiding any potential confusion. The diagram itself is a valiant effort to fit a complex network into a very small space, even using the black border to contain information about destinations off the edge of the diagram! All things considered, the labels are quite legible – and for once, all-caps is probably a good idea, as lower-case characters could perhaps be too hard to read at such a small point size.

AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页 of the main problems with the previous diagram is that it simultaneously had to show a sprawling statewide network as well as local services like PATH, and the Hudson-Bergen light rail. Obviously, these are at very different levels of scale and detail, and the diagram struggled because of it, unsatisfactorily compressing the considerable detail around Newark/New York into a very small part of the diagram.

The solution chosen here – a statewide geographical map supplemented with local area insets where needed – isn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t groundbreaking, but it is effective and a massive improvement. The cleverest part is the way the bottom third of the map gets rotated 45 degrees counter-clockwise to save massive amounts of space: the Atlantic City Line runs neatly across the bottom of the map instead of having to drop towards the southeast. The map🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s border does a lot of good work here, clearly separating the two parts of the map, while making it clear that there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s continuity between the sections at Bordentown.

The diagrammatic insets are neatly drawn with a minimum of fuss, though the colours used for some of the light rail lines could perhaps be better differentiated: it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s a little hard to tell PATH🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s grey apart from the dull brown of the Hudson-Bergen light rail, for example. I also like it 🔸澳洲开奖 the background colours used in an inset are subtly different to those used on the main map, just to help set them above and apart. A leading line or arrow linking the insets to the part of the main map that they🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页re magnifying would also be handy.

🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划final word: 🔸澳洲幸运10预测One of those rare occasions where a geographical rail map is superior to a diagram. It🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s not perfect, but I think it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s definitely a step in the right direction.

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 would like to share with you the new Metrovalencia🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s network map, whose design has been updated with the opening of the new Line 10 this year. The main reason why the transit operator decided to redesign it from scratch instead of just adding the new line layout is because they wanted to start avoiding using diagonal-axis labels on it, as they think horizontal labels are more accessible for people with intellectual disability.

But there are more differences:

• Tram services now are represented again with solid lines, as it was in the previous map before the 2015🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s redesign, ending with the differentiation from the “metro” ones. This could be because the new Line 10 is such a mix, operated with tramway units but with underground stations in the city center. But maybe this rule could have been maintained using the two-toned line for the street-runing sections and the solid line style for traffic segregated sections, for example.
• They🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ve included some spatial references, such as the curves of the subway tunnel between Àngel Guimerà and Xàtiva or Ayora and Marítim, or the Pont de Fusta loop, which before they were in a straight line.
• As almost all the city center stations are shared by different lines, now all of them are officially transfer stations. The map also points 🔸澳洲开奖 in the same station different lines stop in different platforms (e.g. Alameda). The old transfer icon now represents intermodal stations where the users can change from subway to tramway lines or vice versa (except in Bailén/Alacant, maybe because they consider they🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页re different stations?).
• It🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s drawn the future underground moving walkway which will be built to connect Xàtiva and Alacant stations as the project to extend the line some meters more with a new station for Line 10 built in Xàtiva was cancelled. Now, this connection just can be done walking on the street as the woman icon pretends to explain.
• In this new map version, it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s represented the stations where some routes can end 🔸澳洲开奖 they run as partial routes, with the line icon near its label.
• The transit operator decided to reduce the number of fare zones from 4 to just 2 (plus the Airport fare zone), so now there are some stations that belong to both zones represented by this background color overlap.

A similar design has been created also for the TRAM of Alicante, which is run by the same transit operator, so now both cities shares the same map style (but with different typeface: Titillium for Metrovalencia and Rotis for TRAM).

I would appreciate if you could check this version and tell us y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划opinion about if all these changes and new additions have been really an improvement or just unnecessary with the previous map design [from 2015; review here – Cam] as a reference.

澳洲10开官网开奖🔸澳洲幸运10预测 says:

There🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s some things I really like about this diagram and there are others I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页m not so fond of… so let🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s start with the good!

Metrovalencia is a bit of an odd system in that it freely combines street-running trams, a full metro including subways, and commuter rail that runs far out into the surrounding countryside, all under one umbrella. So I really don🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t mind that there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s no attempt made at mode differentiation here – these lines are all part of Metrovalencia, and are all treated equally. What I really do🔸澳洲幸运10预测 like is that the central Zone A is presented with a good degree of spatial accuracy, and the map then gets progressively more diagrammatic the further out it gets. This condenses those far-flung lines (especially Line 1 to the south) rather wonderfully. Presumably, the way that stops are grouped along those lines reflects the different built-up urban areas along each route – though it does perhaps just end up looking a bit haphazard. I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页d be interested in seeing an alternative where the stops are always evenly spaced: it might just look a little more harmonious.

The overlapping zones are drawn about as neatly as they can be, though I do think they could be a bit lighter in tone. As it stands, it seems like some of the route colours have had to be strengthened quite a lot to compete with the background – Line 1 is more of a dull gold than its previous goldenrod yellow, for example. It🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s also unfortunate that the dark gold outline for Zone A passes right through the middle🔸澳洲幸运10预测 of the map🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s legend!

The new interchange markers are definitely an improvement over the previous version, clearly indicating 🔸澳洲开奖 passenger movement between platforms or modes is required. The weakest interchange design is at Empalme, where Line 1 takes a 90-degree turn underneath 🔸澳洲幸运10预测the marker, which is generally regarded as bad design practice.

Finally, it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s interesting to note that this diagram takes the approach of using a crossed-out wheelchair icon to indicate the one and only non-accessible station at Valencia Sud, which is fair enough.

🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划final word: 🔸澳洲幸运10预测A definite improvement in my eyes, though still not truly outstanding. By my reckoning, this is at least the third🔸澳洲幸运10预测 totally different design for the Metrovalencia diagram since 2009 (🔸澳洲开奖 I visited the city and rode the network), which is fairly rapid turnover and doesn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t really speak to a consistent design language for the network.

🔸澳洲幸运10开奖官网开奖结果走势图🔸Source: Metrovalencia website

I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ve been browsing the maps you have about my city, Madrid, and I noticed the map you have for the Renfe Cercanías network, the commuter rail in Madrid, is not up-to-date. The changes aren🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t huge, but the network does operate under substantially different patterns. I would really appreciate it if you took some time to check out the most modern version of the diagram.

澳洲10开官网开奖🔸澳洲幸运10预测 says:

It has been a while since we looked in on Madrid🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s commuter rail diagram (see the previous review from June 2013 here), but I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页m not really enamoured of this new version at all – for a few reasons, not all of which are design-related.

🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划things 🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划– this diagram is sloppy and messily drawn. The gap between adjacent route lines is wildly variable (check out the C-1 and C-7 lines as they round the bend south of Principe Pio station), and the fussy jogs in the lines through Sol and Méndez Alvaro stations just look awful and amateurish. There are better approaches to depicting these stations than these half-baked attempts if just a little thought was to be applied.

I find the zone boundaries are even more busy and distracting than they were before, as the contrast between the alternating zones has been increased – they really do come across as zebra stripes now. There has to be a way to either radically simplify the shapes of the zones or forego them in fav🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划of a zone designation label at each station, because this approach is now bordering on the absurd.

The thinner route lines and standardised station markers unfortunately make this diagram considerably more generic that the older map. While that map shares some of the same problems that this new one has, its unique design style compensated for those flaws quite a bit.

The non-design related problem with this diagram? The fact that this tiny 1200-pixel wide PNG of it is the only🔸澳洲幸运10预测 available version of it on Renfe🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s website – no PDF or even a higher-resolution image. Much of the smaller detail is difficult to make out and I wish you luck trying to read the legend at all! Delivering passenger information like this in 2022 is completely unacceptable and really needs to be looked at – and not just by Renfe, as plenty of other transit agencies still use raster images that are too small or overly compressed on their websites.

🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划final word: 🔸澳洲幸运10预测Urgh. A huge backwards step in this diagram🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s evolution. Poorly drawn and delivered.

🔸澳洲幸运10开奖官网开奖结果走势图🔸Source: Renfe website

Attached is a diagram/sort-of 🔸澳洲幸运10在线人工计划网 I recently made showing all the various rail services and connections in San Francisco. I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ve never been a fan of how Muni shows service connections on their 168澳洲十开奖网 – BART is typically included, though never Caltrain, nor BART🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s connection to the airport, which I think is a fairly important to have.

I also decided to include the F Market & Wharves street car line, which while not connected that seamlessly to the rest of the Muni “metro” system, still serves as an important line for commuters in the city. Also included is the upcoming central subway expansion on the T Third Street line, which brings the line north into downtown with new underground stops north of market street.

Finally, it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s worth noting that this map depicts Muni🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s service patterns prior to all of the various COVID cuts, with all light rail lines continuing downtown under Market Street.

This was the map of any sort that I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ve made, done as a challenge to myself to see if I could even do such a thing. I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页m pretty happy with how it turned out (or honestly more shocked I was even able to get it done).

澳洲10开官网开奖🔸澳洲幸运10预测 says:

Welcome to the wonderful world of transit map making, Griffin!

This is a good, solid effort that builds upon the existing Muni style to include more unified transit information for travellers, which is pretty much always a good thing. Showing BART all the way down to San Francisco International Airport is a great idea, so well done there. It🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页d be nice to perhaps show the SamTrans “SFO” bus from the airport terminals to Milbrae (which are timed to connect with Caltrain services) just to provide a more complete picture of transit options at the airport, but that may be outside the scope of a rail diagram like this.

If there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s an area that does🔸澳洲幸运10预测 need work, it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s the labelling of stations. Even though the official Muni Metro map does it, I will never🔸澳洲幸运10预测 be in fav🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划of labels that are the same col🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划as the line they serve – there simply isn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t enough contrast between yellow text and a white background to be easily readable, for example. The different colours used also make the map look disjointed and give visual preference to darker labels. All the labels represent a station, so they should all have the same importance in the diagram🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s hierarchy. Pick one dark hue with sufficient contrast to the background – it doesn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t have🔸澳洲幸运10预测 to be black, as the London Underground map shows – and stick with it throughout.

Similarly, I just can🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t endorse labels set all in lower-case. Just don🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t. Proper capitalisation of place names aids readability, and looks so much better.

Also, work a bit on the placement of y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划labels relative to the stations they serve – be consistent with how far away they are and whether they sit above/below or alongside the station symbol. The label for the SF Zoo at the end of the L-Taraval line seems to be floating in empty space, for example.

Finally, this isn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t really a comment on this map but on the whole Market Street arrangement of services, with the F streetcars running on the surface, the Muni Metro cars on the 🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划underground level and BART at the bottom – all requiring some kind of transfer between them. Is this level of detail – splitting all these services up into discrete “boarding areas” joined by a connecting transfer line – necessary on a map like this, or is the detail as shown here okay? It🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s something to ponder…

🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划last word: 🔸澳洲幸运10预测A very solid 🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划effort (I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ve seen plenty of unified San Francisco rail maps that aren🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t as good as this), though some love could be given to the labelling to make it even better.

As a little mapping exercise I made a fantasy-ish strip map today of what tiered service patterns on the GO Transit Lakeshore Line could hypothetically look like after the Regional Express Rail (RER) project is finished. Some of it is fairly reasonable/already proposed/under construction, such as the East Harb🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划or Park Lawn stations, Eglinton Crosstown, Ontario Line, etc.; while some parts of the map are a little more far in the future or are unproposed thus far, such as a GO service to Brantford, Cobourg, Uxbridge, etc.

I based the map design on West Japan Railway Company🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s strip maps as I wanted to kind of demonstrate a parallel as to how Torontonians/people from the GTA can reimagine the GO Transit system; not just as a simple commuter rail system, but a more complex rapid transit or regional system with different service patterns, like in Japan. Unlike Japan, however, I also included some “limited express” services that I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页d imagine GO could hypothetically operate as well, adopting the “limited express” model that Japan Railways employs for longer-distance rail.

澳洲10开官网开奖🔸澳洲幸运10预测 says:

A rather lovely hypothetical diagram here, and one that definitely wears its influences proudly on its sleeve – the JR West lineage is immediately obvious, right down to the “some trains do not stop at this station” central black dot symbol and leader lines joining stations to connecting services information.

If there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s one thing I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页d like to see as an improvement, it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页d be a consistently-applied horizontal grid. At the moment, most of the routes on the opposite sides of Union Station don🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t quite 🔸澳洲幸运10预测line up horizontally and it creates a bit of visual imbalance – something is “off”, even if the viewer doesn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t quite know what is causing it. I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ve demonstrated how using a grid and aligning horizontal elements to it across the entire width of the diagram could work below. Note how aligning routes to the grid allows the ST and LE branches to mirror each other exactly on their unified horizontal axis instead of the curve on the ST branch finishing further to the right as it does on Ze🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s version.

Of course, the grid could then be used as a way to place the connecting services information consistently as well, and so on… forming an underlying basis for the whole diagram.

🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划final word: 🔸澳洲幸运10预测An excellent application of a proven strip map design that I feel could be made even better by adherence to an underlying grid to give a little bit more structure to the diagram.
