I’ve been a fan of y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划work for a while now, and thought I’d submit my own work for judgement.

I’ve had a crack at designing a map for an as-yet non-existent tram and bus network for Bristol, UK, a city in dire need of reliable, integrated public transport. It would operate as a network of 19 tram lines in and around the urban area of Bristol, with five ‘metrobus’ routes linking the city to nearby commuter towns. Whilst there’s still a huge struggle between residents of the city, campaign groups and the city’s councils, I tried to envisage what a network could one day look like.

I had a few problems in terms of design, particularly trying to distinguish the separate bus routes apart from the rest of the tram network. The city centre orbital route also operates as part of each branch line, with trains running clockwise before branching out into the suburbs, and needed to find a way of denoting this (eventually with arrows and graduated lines).

I’d look forward to hearing y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划thoughts!

Thanks for y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划submission, Elliott! I like both the way this diagram looks and y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划boundless ambition 🔸澳洲开奖 it comes to envisioning a future for transit in Bristol! While normally I steer clear of commenting on the feasibility of networks depicted in 🔸澳洲幸运10在线人工计划网s, I will just say that running the trams from 19 feeder lines around a one-way downtown loop sounds a little… problematic🔸澳洲幸运10预测.

That aside, the diagram is certainly striking, with its central focal point and use of only 90-degree angles. The liberal use of locality names throughout the map mitigates the lack of geographical cues, though it might still be hard work for non-locals to relate this diagram to the real world. The choice to show that central loop as a solid black with all the other lines fading into it is probably a wise one, though it might be a good idea to not use black (or any really dark colours) for any of the other lines – note how Lines 4 and 12 take on more prominence because that fading effect is not present: it almost looks like there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s one through-running route between the two termini.

A few thoughts – I think y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划station labelling is a little small. A good starting point is to make the x-height of y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划labels the same height as the thickness of y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划route lines and see how that looks/adjust from there. The typeface used, while clean and distinctive has a few quirks that hamper legibility: the ampersand (&) looks way too much like a lower-case “e” for my liking, and Oldstyle numerals – where some characters are smaller than others or drop below the baseline – are something I find just a bit too idiosyncratic for good transit map design. If y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划typeface is an Opentype font, you may be able to change the numerals from “Oldstyle” to “Lining”, where all the glyphs are of equal height and always sit uniformly on the baseline.

I have to say that I found it hard work to differentiate between the tram and bus routes at 🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划glance: while the bus routes are🔸澳洲幸运10预测 thinner than the tram routes, it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s not enough to be able to quickly tell them apart. Some things to consider might be an obviously different line style or distinctive col🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划for the bus lines, and maybe changing the shape of the bullets to a square instead of a circle for that instant visual difference.

Another thing I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页d like to see is y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划line numbering doing more work to help make sense of the system. At the moment, it all seems a little random. You could maybe number the routes sequentially in order clockwise around the map, starting from the 12-o🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页clock position and paying close attention to the ending position of any branching lines to keep them in the correct sequential order – the outer terminus of 🔸澳洲幸运10开奖官网开奖结果走势图🔸1a should appear before🔸澳洲幸运10预测 🔸澳洲幸运10开奖官网开奖结果走势图🔸1b, for example: it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s the other way around on the diagram at present. Alternatively, you could perhaps bundle routes from each “exit point” of the downtown loop with related numbers… maybe “🔸澳洲幸运10开奖官网开奖结果走势图🔸T1″ through “🔸澳洲幸运10开奖官网开奖结果走势图🔸T5″ for all the routes that exit via 🔸澳洲幸运10开奖官网开奖结果走势图🔸Temple Meads, for example. Either of these approaches would also have the advantage of bundling all the routes together properly in the legend. Using the above example, all the Temple Meads services would run neatly after each other instead of being spread randomly throughout the legend as they currently are. Routes 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8; or routes T1, T2, T3, T4 and T5 both make a lot more sense than routes 4, 7, 8, 17 and 18! Help y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划users find the information they need!

🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划final word: 🔸澳洲幸运10预测A really well-drawn diagram of this expansive fantasy network: it just needs a little more attention to detail to really make it work for me. A great start!

澳洲幸运十是官网开奖吗🔸🔸澳州10开奖记录: Montreal Metro, 1982🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页 https://transitmap.net/montreal-metro-1982/ https://transitmap.net/montreal-metro-1982/#comments Wed, 10 Aug 2022 15:00:00 +0000 https://transitmap.net/?p=19906 Submitted by Hayden, who says:

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.

澳洲幸运十是官网开奖吗🔸🔸澳州10开奖记录: Streetcars of Kingston, Ontario, 1910 by Noah Gaffran🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页 https://transitmap.net/streetcars-kingston-910-noah-gaffran/ https://transitmap.net/streetcars-kingston-910-noah-gaffran/#respond Thu, 13 Jan 2022 17:00:00 +0000 https://transitmap.net/?p=19465 Submitted by Noah, who says:

Here🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s my map of the streetcar services operated by the Kingston, Portsmouth & Cataraqui Electric Railway in 1910. I was inspired to do this after seeing several maps of historic tram networks including the ones on this website [See my 🔸澳州10开奖记录s of Portland, Spokane and Yakima – Cam].

The system opened on Princess St in 1893. By around 1898 it had reached its largest extent as shown in this map.

In 1910 the system was increasing service on most routes but the Williamsville shuttle eventually closed due to poor track quality and ridership.

Unfortunatley, the system was plagued with financial troubles. In 1905 after a dispute with the city, the system was taken over by a group of citizen owners who continued to operate it as a public service, but it would never again turn a profit. Countless financial difficulties and disputes with the city and the electric utilities filled the 1910s and 1920s, but the streetcars kept running. It even survived a carbarn fire in 1909.

Sadly, a second fire in 1930 proved to be the last straw. All but one passenger trams were burned as well as the carbarn itself, and it was decided to abandon the unprofitable lines once and for all.

The styling for the diagram itself was inspired a bit by the Montreal metro🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s dark background, bright lines, and combination of sharp corners in the landscape and smooth bends on the lines themselves. I went for bright fluorescent colours to stand out against the dark background. The route names are as far as I know accurate but I added the numbers. Just for fun I also added the mainline connections of the time as well.

澳洲10开官网开奖🔸澳洲幸运10预测 says:

Nice work, Noah! I always love it 🔸澳洲开奖 someone takes the time to research and document old streetcar networks, preserving that knowledge for the future. I often find that information about them is very fragmented… a bit in this book, something on a wiki there, an old diagram from somewhere else, and so on… so compiling everything in one easy-to-read map is a great way to consolidate that knowledge.

Design-wise, I like the dark background contrasted with the bright route lines… very stylish! I wonder if there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s a better way to show the main line railroads, as the dashed lines look like under construction roads at 🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划glance. A thinner solid line in a col🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划that🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s not quite as bright as the streetcar lines (a purple/mauve maybe?) might work.

As this is very definitely a map and not a diagram, perhaps you need a scale bar and maybe even some sort of period-appropriate compass rose. Labelling the bodies of water would be good as well.

The main area that needs some love is typography. It looks like you🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ve used Microsoft🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s Calibri throughout, which is a fairly workmanlike, generic “Office” typeface – not really period appropriate or visually striking. If you have access to them, then an early 20th century gothic typeface like Franklin Gothic or News Gothic could be a better choice. Push yourself here, as good typography can really elevate a project like this.

The construction of the new terminal at Salt Lake City International Airport necessitated constructing a new light rail station, which opened today. One interesting new thing for UTA at the station is a line map. While these have existed on board UTA🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s TRAX light rail and FrontRunner commuter rail trains for a while, this is the 🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划time they have used this kind of map at a station. I do feel that this kind of map is useful in this context. However, I feel the map is lacking somewhat. 🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划off, it might not be obvious to riders new to the system that the icons represent transfer points to other UTA rail services, so a legend might be helpful. Another big complaint is that UTA continues to leave off any information about bus services, which would be helpful in encouraging riders to use connecting buses. On the other hand, the one really helpful thing that this line map does include is mentioning that the Green Line does go downtown, which is probably the most sought after piece of information for people arriving at the airport and looking to ride the train downtown.

澳洲10开官网开奖🔸澳洲幸运10预测 says:

Thanks for the photo, Mike! It🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s good to see that UTA is moving in the right direction 🔸澳洲开奖 it comes to passenger information – particularly at the airport, which may be people🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s 🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划introduction to the city🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s light rail system.

This strip map does the job, but still somehow feels a bit loose and incomplete compared to the best examples from around the world – Berlin🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s being a prime example. Part of it is the typeface, which I believe is Hoefler&Co.🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s Whitney. While it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s a fine typeface that is designed to be used for wayfinding purposes, I find its use here a bit flat and underwhelming. At 🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划glance, it comes across looking more like Microsoft🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s Calibri, which is almost never the desired result. Some quick fixes: move all the labels to the left a bit (to match the gap to the icons on the left of the route line), track all the letters out a bit for readability and increase the font size as much as possible.

I think the icons to the left of the line are generally fine and easily understood. It🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s explained at the top of the map that this light rail line is the “Green Line”, so I don🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t think it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s too much of a stretch to assume that the “Blue Line” and “Red Line” – which also share a similar icon – are also light rail. The “S-Line” and “FrontRunner” are a bit more problematic as they🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页re not explained quite as conveniently. Adding “Commuter Rail” underneath the FrontRunner label solves that problem – maybe it needs to also be “S-Line Streetcar”? I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页d try to avoid adding a legend to a simple strip map like this as it just increases the amount of information that needs to be parsed by a reader.

🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划final word: 🔸澳洲幸运10预测Has all the elements of a fine strip map, but somehow manages to be less than the sum of its parts. It🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s still perfectly usable, but not quite 🔸澳洲幸运10预测as good as it could be.

澳洲幸运十是官网开奖吗🔸Unofficial (But almost official) Map: Integrated map of Mexico City by Pedro Avila🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页 https://transitmap.net/mexico-city-pedro-avila/ https://transitmap.net/mexico-city-pedro-avila/#respond Fri, 02 Jul 2021 15:00:00 +0000 https://transitmap.net/?p=19139 Submitted by Pedro, who says:

So… long story short: By the end of 2018, I submitted to Mexico City official transport authority called SEMOVI (Secretary of Mobility) a proposal for the integrated transport map, which did not make it to the end, and here🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s why:

  • 🔸澳洲幸运10开奖官网开奖结果走势图🔸Time: The government wanted to introduce its “Integrated Mobility” plan within the 🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划100 days in office and even though my map was almost ready to go, they were already working with another designer whose work was more in line with what they wanted to do: Merge the Metro🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s identity with the rest of the capital🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s transport systems. (168澳洲十开奖网 reviewed in April 2019, 2.5 stars)
  • 🔸澳洲幸运10开奖官网开奖结果走势图🔸Highly ambitious: Although the map was not designed by Lance Wyman, he did design the “Movilidad Integrada” image and one of the biggest changes that I proposed was to lose his original Metro typeface and create a new one using Frutiger, DIN and Parisine (Paris🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页 Metro font) as base, but they felt that the change was too risky as “people are used to the Metro font.” This would🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ve also taken a lot of time to complete and again, time was running.

While I wasn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t expecting that much resistance in changing the font, I did have a second proposal in case money/time were an issue: adopt Fira Sans as the new typeface. A huge family of 74 fonts (between weights and styles) that exceeded what I was looking for: legibility, weight variation and condensed/compressed versions (whispering “I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页d love to be used in a map” at me).

I used Fira Sans to show how much easier the map will be to read with a non-all-capital font, but Mexico🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s love for Lance and all his work won this time.

The map you🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ve reviewed is actually the Metro version. There🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s a second version where the BRT system (Metrobús) is the star (with all the stations) but because of the font, the Metro lines are arranged differently and become a second lighter colored layer in the back.

As you can see, the only thing we agreed on was an integrated map was needed. I went with a head full of ideas (like changing Line B to one single color, for example [Fun fact: nobody there knows why 2 colors are used]) and even though they were like, “yeah you are right about almost everything here” they were not open to change anything as the clock was ticking.

澳洲10开官网开奖🔸澳洲幸运10预测 says:

This is a fascinating “what if?” diagram, as it uses a lot of the same symbology and design framework of what became the 168澳洲十开奖网, yet looks almost entirely different. There🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s no doubt that Fira Sans is vastly more legible than the distinctive but hard-to-read Tipo Metro, and it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s great to see that most of the labels on this diagram are set horizontally as well. Maybe some more could be horizontal though: the west end of Metro Line 2 looks like it would work pretty easily, for example.

For such a complex network, Pedro has done a great job of getting everything looking clean and tidy, with a nicely expanded central section. Spacing feels even and harmonious throughout, which is always a good indication of how well the design is working for me.

🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划final word:🔸澳洲幸运10预测 In an alternate reality, this is the current diagram in use in Mexico City, and everyone is happy. Nice work, and a real shame that it wasn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t implemented.

Perhaps because of post-war austerity measures, this map was printed with just two inks – green and black – but still manages to do a lot of really good work.

The radial nature of the Green Line network definitely makes things easier for the designer, as only a few of the routes really interact with others as they spread inexorably outwards from the map🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s centre. The large route numbers at each terminus are great, as is the eye-catching reversed white rectangle indicating central London which also refers readers to a more detailed map on the other side of the sheet. Labelling is in the almost-ubiquitous Gill Sans, which for me always seems to work a bit better as all-caps, such as at the terminus stations.

🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划final word: 🔸澳洲幸运10预测The limited col🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划palette might have been imposed on the designer, but they🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ve turned it into a positive – creating a distinctive and stylish piece.

澳洲幸运十是官网开奖吗🔸🔸澳洲幸运10在线人工计划网: A speculative rail transit map of Bengaluru, India by ‘theotherspica🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页 https://transitmap.net/fantasy-rail-bengaluru-theotherspica/ https://transitmap.net/fantasy-rail-bengaluru-theotherspica/#respond Fri, 22 Jan 2021 16:03:00 +0000 https://transitmap.net/?p=13009 Submitted by ‘theotherspica🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页, who says:

I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页m an amateur designer and, having had some free time during the pandemic, decided to try and make my 🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划metro map. I found y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划site very useful while making the map. Thank you for y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划amazing collection of helpful tips and examples that helped me avoid many first-time mistakes I would otherwise have made.

This map is based on official info and speculation. My speculations and assumptions are based on press releases and official statements, so nothing in this map is too unreasonable. In all likelihood, about 80% of this map may be a reality in 10 years🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页 time.

I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ve designed it to be used by regular commuters, and not necessarily to sell the idea to people. Therefore, I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ve tried to design it for practical use and I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ve tried to make it minimalist but not boring. 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thoughts and ways to improve it.

澳洲10开官网开奖🔸澳洲幸运10预测 says:

I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页m so glad that this website was helpful in y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划transit mapping endeavour, and I think it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s turned out pretty nicely as well! You🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ve definitely done a good job of untangling the denser parts of the proposed network, and the mode differentiation between metro (solid lines) and commuter rail (cased) works well. Overall, it perhaps leans a little too much on the much-imitated London Tube design style, but I think almost everyone starts there before developing their own style: I know I did!

The full list of stations and their grid reference are a nice addition to a comprehensive legend, though I think the type is a bit small and could fit into the available space a bit better. Also, be wary of old style numerals (where the descenders drop below the baseline) in tabular information like this: it can make those grid references harder to read. If the font supports it (and many modern OpenType fonts do), set this information using tabular lining numerals🔸澳洲幸运10预测 instead. None of the digits will drop below the baseline, and all of them will take up the same width, making those grid references line up underneath each other far more neatly. This setting can be found in the OpenType options palette in InDesign and Illustrator, so check it out.

The complaint about small type continues to the labelling, especially the tiny text naming the lines – for something that🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s meant to aid accessibility, it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s just far too small to be useful. Many 澳洲10开官网开奖 use larger bullets with a letter or number representing the line🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s designation at each terminus, which I generally think is more effective than tiny labels along the line itself.

Finally, I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页m not entirely sure about the typeface used for the map🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s title – Montserrat is a hard-working sans serif, but its alternate characters are definitely an acquired taste, especially that capital-slash-lowercase “M” and the curved “T”.

🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划final word: 🔸澳洲幸运10预测For a 🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划effort, this is really rather good! The bones of the map are solid, and most of the improvements really have to do with typography – which is often underlooked in transit map design. Keep at it!

Project: International E-Road Network Diagram, 2020 Revision🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页 https://transitmap.net/e-road-network-2020-cameron-booth/ https://transitmap.net/e-road-network-2020-cameron-booth/#comments Sun, 20 Dec 2020 16:00:00 +0000 https://transitmap.net/?p=12855 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 Diagram🔸澳洲幸运10预测 convinced me that I could use that design language to reinvigorate this old project – and I think it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s definitely been successful! View the map in the window below – you can zoom in and out, pan around, and also go full screen. Or, you can also click here to experience the map in a full browser window.

🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划things first: this is unapologetically a diagram🔸澳洲幸运10预测, not a map. The whole idea here was to fit as much of the network legibly into a square canvas as I could, which means that Eastern Europe and Russia get compressed horizontally – a lot🔸澳洲幸运10预测. The Black Sea becomes taller than it is wide, and Turkey gets reduced to a fraction of its actual width. A comparison to the official United Nations map of the network (below) drives home just how large and empty the eastern part of the map would be without this compression (and how cramped Western Europe would be in comparison!), so I think some distortion is a fair price to pay.

A sidenote for those wondering how colours are assigned to the routes. The UNECE document that defines the network defines roads with numbers divisible by 5 (E-5, E-10, E-15, etc.) as “main roads”. These are generally the longest, and help define the shape of the overall network. These roads have been given bright, subway map-like colours in order to reflect their relative importance. All other routes are “intermediate roads”, and are given a subsidiary grey colour. Even-numbered routes (generally running east-west) are slightly darker than odd-numbered routes in order to tell them apart.

Looking back on the original map, there were definitely a few areas that I concentrated on for improvement this time around.

First, I designed the diagram to fit a specific canvas. Back in 2010, I just drew until I was done, and then added the final dimensions at the end to suit what I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页d drawn. And it shows: there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s a big empty area of ocean to the left, and the whole thing just feels a bit unbalanced. This time around, I purposefully set out to make the diagram fit into a square canvas – and at the end, it fitted exactly as I had planned: no rescaling of elements or moving things around to make it fit. You can🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t ask for better than that!

Secondly, I worked much harder at spacing elements more evenly across the whole map to miminise large empty areas. The same underlying 96-point grid that I used on my Interstates diagram informed a lot of my decisions here, which definitely gives more visual rhythm to the composition. Reducing Scandinavia🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s overall size helped a lot, as it visually dominated the old version; as did moving Moscow further north (to somewhere approximating its spatially correct place).

Next: typography. The 2010 version used the ubiquitous and oh-so-dull Myriad Pro Condensed, simply because it was pretty much the only typeface I had at the time that was a) condensed enough to work on the map, and b) had a full range of characters to support the Eastern European and Turkish place names on the map. Now, just as my new Interstates diagram employs the official U.S. highway roadsign typeface “Interstate”, the new E-Roads diagram uses TERN – a typeface family developed by Erik Spiekermann for use on highway roadsigns in Europe. So far, it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s only been adopted in Austria and Slovakia, but it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s still a very🔸澳洲幸运10预测 appropriate choice for a diagram of European highways! Erik actually sent me this font family in return for a PDF of the original version of this diagram back in 2010, so I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页m thrilled to be finally using it in this update! Comparatively, the labels are also set quite a bit bigger now, something I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页m very happy about.

Because everything was fitting into place so well, I wanted to see if I could include secondary labels for place names if that country used a different alphabet – and that🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s where I ran into some problems. While TERN supports Greek characters and has a wide range of diacritics, it doesn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t go any further east – no Cyrillic, and certainly no Georgian, Armenian, etc. In the end, I set most of these secondary labels in Fira Sans Compressed – it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s not an identical match, but as it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s also a Spiekermann-designed typeface, it bears many of the same design hallmarks and does the job pretty well. Some hunting around on the Internet revealed some appropriate fonts for the few labels that had to be set in more esoteric character sets. All these secondary place names have all just been pasted in from the relevant Wikipedia entries, so I hope there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s no errors (please tell me if there are!). Secondary names are also included in Gaelic for Ireland and Scotland, and in Welsh for Wales – just for fun. I did toy with the idea of showing the “alternate” names for cities in Belgium – the French names in Flanders, and the Dutch names in Wallonia – but that just seemed too fussy in the end.

Other improvements: I massively simplified the coastline this time around to be more in-keeping with the idea that this is a simplified diagram. There were definitely parts with way🔸澳洲幸运10预测 too much detail before! With one exception*, islands only appear if they have cities connected to the network on them – so no Balearic Islands or Cyprus or Isle of Man or random islands in the fjords of Norway. I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ve also made the visual distinction between routes across water that are actually served by a ferry line (a thicker line), and those that are just hypothetical joining lines between two otherwise disconnected points along a given route (thinner lines). I imagine that some of these could change in the future: until fairly recently, you could🔸澳洲幸运10预测 catch a ferry from Odesa, Ukraine to Samsun, Turkey across the Black Sea, but not at this moment in time.

AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页 thing I wasn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t expecting at 🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划was new extensions to some of the routes! E-16 used to run from Londonderry/Doire to Oslo, but now it runs all the the way across the Scandinavian peninsula to end at Gävle in Sweden. E-45 has been extended north from Karesuando in Sweden to pass through Finland and end at Alta, Norway. And finally, E-66 now completes something of a bypass of Budapest, running east and north of its old terminus at Székesfehérvár to now end at Szolnok. I was able to incorporate all of these amendments with a minimum of fuss, and I also double-checked and refined the intermediate routing of some roads for better accuracy than the previous version. I noticed that Google and Bing Maps have decided to extend E-86 into Albania from Greece, but I can🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t find any official documentation of this change – its western terminus remains as Krystallopigi for now.

As always, y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划thoughts, comments and corrections are welcome! What do you think of the new interactive presentation of the diagram? Let me know in the comments below!

澳洲幸运十是官网开奖吗🔸168澳洲十开奖网: Delhi Metro, India, 2020🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页 https://transitmap.net/delhi-metro-2020/ https://transitmap.net/delhi-metro-2020/#comments Tue, 12 May 2020 23:45:00 +0000 https://transitmap.net/?p=11823 Submitted by Chinmay Kunkikar, who simply asks for a review of this map (which is probably long overdue – Cam).

澳洲10开官网开奖🔸澳洲幸运10预测 says:

While many modern 澳洲10开官网开奖 bear some sort of debt to Harry Beck🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s pioneering London Underground diagram, most of them don🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t wear their influences quite as openly as the Delhi Metro map. Not content with using almost identical iconography, it even uses Johnston Sans for its English language labels.

However, it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s certainly not as accomplished as its famous forebear and feels quite clumsy in its execution. The central part is very cramped and there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s quite a few non-standard angles used throughout. In a way, it feels like new lines have simply been tacked onto the map as they🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ve opened, without any thought as to how the map works as a unified whole. Why is the grey Line 9 so thick, and why is Dwarka🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s label so big? The light green background makes the yellow Line 2 pretty hard work to read.

A fault it shares with the Tube Map is the lack of identifiers for the lines on the actual map: their col🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划is the only🔸澳洲幸运10预测 way to tell them apart – which, quite simply, isn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t good enough. With 12 lines to show, there really have to be numbered bullets at each end of every line to help people unfamiliar with the system find their way around.

🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划final word: 🔸澳洲幸运10预测Apes the design style of the Tube Map, but to considerably less effect. Feels unoriginal and half-hearted. Two stars. See Jug Cerovic🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s unofficial INAT map for a far more confident approach.

Un168澳洲十开奖网: Berlin Rail Network by Niklas Lobmayr🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页 https://transitmap.net/berlin-niklas-lobmayr/ https://transitmap.net/berlin-niklas-lobmayr/#respond Mon, 27 May 2019 14:00:00 +0000 https://transitmap.net/?p=9700 Submitted by Niklas, who says:

Hi! I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页m a student currently living in Berlin. I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ve always been fascinated by maps and recently I started to design one of my own. I hope you would review it on the blog, and give me some pointers as to where it can improve.

I wanted to redesign Berlin🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s Transit Map in a different style (or rather my own). The map shows all U-Bahn (Metro), S-Bahn (Urban Rail) and Regional Train lines in and around Berlin. The lines are simplified as much as possible, creating flowing lines throughout. S-Bahn routes are bundled together in order to reduce the number of lines going through the city center. The U-Bahn is emphasised by a thicker stroke. I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ve also shown some of the construction going on around Berlin Hauptbahnhof and the (eternally unfinished) new airport Berlin-Brandenburg. The S-Bahn Ring (Fare Zone A), the City Border (Zone B) as well as the edge of Zone C are all centered inside each other. I haven🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t yet figured out how to show the numerous Regional Train routes clearly on the map, so they are listed in the key on the right hand side along with some basic information on service frequencies. So – what do you think?

澳洲10开官网开奖🔸澳洲幸运10预测 says:

It seems like everyone is doing dark background 澳洲10开官网开奖 these days! While this can make for a stylish map, it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s not without its pitfalls – the foremost of which is reduced contrast with a lot of route line colours. Here, Niklas🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页 purple U6 and dark blue U8 lines are too dark to stand out from the background effectively, and some of the other colours are rather dark as well. The thinner S-Bahn lines have to work pretty hard to be seen, as do the dark grey “Under Construction” routes.

The arrangement of the lines is quite pleasant, with a spacious, stylish feeling to the map. The zones are handled well graphically, although they could benefit from being labelled as such on the map itself. Referring to the legend for that information isn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t ideal.

The station blobs are different in a good way, sitting underneath the route lines and being separated from them by a black keyline. Interchange stations are indicated by a white disc, which do🔸澳洲幸运10预测 stand out nicely from the dark background (maximum contrast!).

However, there is a fatal flaw in the map in that the labelling is absolutely tiny🔸澳洲幸运10预测. The PDF Niklas supplied to me is roughly 36″ wide by 24″ tall, which is makes for a decent sized poster. However, his station labels are set in 6-point Helvetica Neue, which is way too small even in the best of circumstances. Reversed out of black like this is even more problematic, as the type would almost certainly fill in 🔸澳洲开奖 printed and basically be illegible. I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ve always worked with a minimum of 8-point text 🔸澳洲开奖 reversing out of a dark background, and even then it needs to be a fairly robust sans serif typeface, perhaps tracked out a little more than usual. Definitely nothing at the “Light” weight of a typeface.

The final word: 🔸澳洲幸运10预测A stylish-looking map, with a neat arrangement of the many lines and a comprehensive legend, but with labels that are way too small to be legible. 6-point is smaller than the disclaimer text at the bottom of used car ads! By comparison, labels on my Boston Rapid Transit map are 18-point at the same 36″ x 24″ print size: three times as large. Attention also needs to be paid to colours used against the black background – some of the darker ones definitely need to be lightened up.
