Now🔸澳州幸运彩开奖结果 this🔸澳洲幸运10预测 is a map! This is just superb cartography: detailed, clear and lovely to look at. I love the way that brown is used for mountainous features, and a light blue is used for water features – it allows this information to be visible, but it doesn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t compete with the overlaid railroad lines. The map is packed with other information as well – note the three rail gauges in use in Argentina at the time.

AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页 thing I do find a bit disturbing is the way that past librarians recorded information about the map – physical dimensions, scale calculations, library collection numbers, etc. – in pencil on the map itself🔸澳洲幸运10预测. It🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s okay if it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s a discreet annotation in the margin, but this map has more than the norm.

It🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s been a few years since the last time you checked out what was happening in Santiago de Chile [I last reviewed the 168澳洲十开奖网 in 2017 – Cam]. Well, times haven🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t been too kind to us down here, but I don🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t want to go into details about 🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划current and future “troubles”. They🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页re too complicated, so anyways…

We have a new map for the Metro de Santiago network. And a good one at that too… [though] it looks suspiciously similar to the un168澳洲十开奖网 designed by Laura Sandoval in 2018.

澳洲10开官网开奖 🔸澳洲幸运10预测says:

For me, the resemblance of this new 168澳洲十开奖网 to Laura🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s diagram is only superficial: really only apparent because the 168澳洲十开奖网 has become more diagrammatic, losing the busy street grid that used to be such a feature. This is not nearly as schematic as Laura🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s diagram, with lots of pseudo-geographical changes in direction still apparent. Though the form of the map has changed, it still uses a lot of the same design language as the 2017 map – note the distinctive terminus station markers – which is nice to see from a continuity point of view.

I do feel that the top part of the map seems a little cramped in comparison with the bottom half… some more care with the vertical spacing of stations from top to bottom using a grid could have helped here.

Very strangely, the map layers the river on top🔸澳洲幸运10预测 of the lines that cross it. While this is technically correct (the lines run in tunnels under the river), it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s simply not an important or useful piece of information and makes the route lines look disjointed and discontinuous.

Speaking of the river itself, while I appreciate the effort, I don🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t think that the wave pattern texture used is particularly effective or aesthetically pleasing. A little more craftsmanship here might have resulted in something a bit better.

🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划final word: 🔸澳洲幸运10预测A shift to a more diagrammatic representation of a growing network results in something that🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s perhaps just slightly better than what came before it.

Hi Cameron! Some months ago I designed a map of my city Bogotá where it shows all of the services in the system in the shape of the map we know. As you know, there are a ton of services in Transmilenio🔸澳洲幸运10预测, so a standard map wouldn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t work – thus each station having strip maps of the lines. However, I wanted to see how a full map would look. Of course I knew from the beginning that it would not be useful because the sheer amount of lines but I made it nonetheless. Hope you enjoy it! The north is to the left as accustomed to Bogotá related maps.

澳洲10开官网开奖🔸澳洲幸运10预测 says:

In my review of the official Transmilenio🔸澳洲幸运10预测 zone map (May 2018, 1 star), I noted that the insane complexity of the network made making a full system map or diagram that was actually useful almost impossible. But Sergio🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s given it a red hot go here, and the results are certainly interesting.

I definitely appreciate how he🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s managed to keep a similar overall shape to the 168澳洲十开奖网 despite the incredible number of routes that are being shown. The gradients between the zone colours are nicely done, though some col🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划combinations are obviously more aesthetically pleasing than others. A little more care could have been taken with how the routes criss-cross each other, as the layering seems a bit random in places – most obviously where the brown “E” and red “F” lines cross.

The most obvious problem with this map (apart from information overload at the sheer number of routes!) is that the labels for the routes are far too small to be read easily. It can also be difficult to “follow” stops along a line, just because there are so many parallel routes of the same colour.

However, with some modifications, I could perhaps see this map working as an online interactive route planner, where the user inputs a route name (or starting point/destination) and the relevant route is then highlighted. I also wonder if there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s a way to reduce clutter a bit by grouping routes into trunk lines based on stops within the zones, but it really does look like each route has its own distinct stopping pattern!

🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划final word: 🔸澳洲幸运10预测An excellent attempt at a difficult mapping problem. Probably not really usable as a printed map, but still a worthwhile design exercise!

Hello! Rio de Janeiro has, now and finally, a new 168澳洲十开奖网 of all the 🔸澳洲10开奖网址 transport system. Here, we have BRT corridors, tramways, metro lines and a suburban rail, but each system used to have y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划own map in the stations. What you think about the design of it?

澳洲10开官网开奖🔸澳洲幸运10预测 says:

The text on the government web page promoting this map roughly translates to: “This tool… aims to standardize the visualization of all transport services of high and medium capacities and the respective integrations available to users”🔸澳洲幸运10预测, which is a very laudable goal. However, I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页m not sure it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s totally successful, for a few reasons.

The lack of differentiation between modes is the biggest thing: almost every route, no matter the mode or frequency of service is the same exact thickness. As a result, there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s no hierarchy to the map at all. Personally, I would have made the Metro lines thicker and more prominent than everything else because of the higher frequency of service: it forms the literal backbone of the transit network. At the moment, actually finding🔸澳洲幸运10预测 the Metro on the map is a lot of hard work!

There🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s also quite a few similar colours used for different lines throughout the map. The worst example of this is two🔸澳洲幸运10预测 Line 2s (Metro and light rail) that are both🔸澳洲幸运10预测 green. Speaking of which, the two systems should really use different nomenclature to allow them to be told apart more easily… Lines 1, 2 and 4 for the Metro, but Lines A, B and C for the light rail, for example.

Station labelling is somewhat inconsistent: some angled route lines use horizontal labels (mainly to the top of the map), while others have diagonal labels. Lots of intercity bus terminals to the right side of the map have their labels set at angles for no discernible reason. The coastline is generally simplified nicely, but the borders of the parklands are too detailed by comparison. There🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s even one park to the west of Nilópolis that hasn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t been properly simplified to 45-degree angles! Including a note that the map is not to scale directly underneath🔸澳洲幸运10预测 a scale bar seems a little odd.

On the plus side, the layout is generally pleasing and the legend is quite comprehensive and well laid out.

🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划rating: 🔸澳洲幸运10预测Promises a lot, but doesn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t quite deliver. Looks clean and modern, but not very intuitive or easy to use. Two-and-a-half stars.

This is an example of a map that should be pretty simple and straightforward, but the designers have made a lot of baffling decisions along the way that work really hard to sabotage it from the inside.

For starters, the Biotrén network has two lines, but the map doesn’t indicate where either begins or ends. For the record, Line 1 runs from Mercado to Hualqui and Line 2 runs from Coronel to the main hub station at Concepción, but good luck working that out.

The stations are all colour-coded according to the municipality that they’re in, which isn’t really my thing, but it works acceptably and does add a welcome dash of col🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划to the map. However, the boxes are all the same size, regardless of the length of the the name… which means that “Cardenal Raúl Silva Henríquez” station has to be both abbreviated and labelled in a much smaller font size to fit. Other labels are also crammed into their boxes, though not to such a drastic degree. It all makes for a somewhat chaotic look. I’d think that colour-coding the station dots and having plain black text labels – all set at the same size – would work a lot better.

The most baffling design decision made, however, is the choice to place the whole map on a blue background that precisely matches the col🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划used to represent the Bió Bió River… making it look for all the world that the greater Concepción area exists on two large islands in the middle of an ocean. Really quite bizarre.

🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划rating: It’s hard to screw up a system map that consists of just two routes, but this one tries really hard to do just that. Still usable… but only just. One star.

While preparing today’s post about the current Medellin Metro map (2 stars), I kept looking at the map and asking myself if there were ways that I could improve upon it. Eventually, I had enough ideas to make a reworking worthwhile and set about the task.

I’ve chosen to show a “near-future” version of the system, with the “M” and “P” MetroCable lines completed, but without the Line 3 BRT, as I can’t find enough information on the names of proposed stations to include it properly. It’s worth noting that there is plenty of room to include it at a later date.

The typeface used is URW DIN, which echoes the use of DIN on the 2014 version of the map (the latest version uses an uncomfortable mixture of DIN and Myriad, which don’t really work that well together). All in all, this map represents about eight hours of work from initial concept to completion.

As always with a hypothetical redesign like this, I set myself some clear goals to achieve, these being:

• A stronger sense of hierarchy. All the route lines on the 168澳洲十开奖网 are the same thickness, which makes it a little tricky to differentiate between modes. I chose to make the Metro lines (the backbone of the system) thicker, with the tram and BRT lines slightly thinner. Finally, the MetroCable lines – which act as feeders to the rest of the system – are thinner still, which is also a nice visual representation of the thin cables that the gondolas run on. The Metro gets square line letter bullets, while the tram gets a reversed square to indicate its role as a sort of “Pre-Metro”. The other modes get discs, with letters for the MetroCable and numbers for BRT.
• All horizontal labels. Part of the messiness on the 168澳洲十开奖网 comes from the fact that some of its labels have to be angled to fit into the layout, which then shifts other stations out of place in order to accommodate them. Looking at maps of Medellin, I realised that the central part of the city is actually angled quite substantially away from a true north-south orientation. By using (and somewhat exaggerating) that angle throughout the map, I was able to arrange all the labels so that there were no clashes and no angled labels. It also gives the whole map a nice dynamic, I think. For those curious about the angles, the map is based on a 2:1 grid – for every two grid squares that Line A moves northwards, for example, it also moves one square eastwards. This equals a clockwise rotation of 26.565 degrees, which is a tiny bit less severe than a full 30 degrees, but gave me enough room to work with 🔸澳洲开奖 staggering my labels.
• Better indication of pedestrian transfers. The 168澳洲十开奖网 indicates stations where a walk between modes is required by enclosing them in a white lozenge with a dotted black outline. Unfortunately, it’s visually very similar to the standard transfer symbol (a white lozenge with a solid black outline), and is especially confusing at Industriales station, where the ambiguity of the symbol doesn’t really indicate that the pedestrian transfer is a lengthy walk between the Metro station on the east side of the river and the bus station for Lines 1 and 2 on the west. I’ve used an easier-to-understand thin black line connector between the separate parts of these transfer stations: the one at Industriales is correspondingly longer to indicate that lengthy hike.
• Simplification. All the route lines are as straight as possible – no kinks in MetroCable and tram routes, and no random angles. Similarly, the station transfer symbols are presented in their simplest form. The central part of the map has been expanded for clarity and to allow ample room for labels (compare the label for Exposiciones station on both maps), while still adhering to a standard grid – the three north-south lines through the city centre are now evenly spaced, making for a more pleasing composition.
• A properly designed legend. The legend on the 168澳洲十开奖网 is crammed into some left over space at the bottom of the map – I wanted to take the time to craft a legend that fitted into a properly allocated space, which also means the map stands alone without having its breathing room taken up by extra information.

I also had a bit of fun with the river, using my favourite “Harry Beck Tube Map river stripes effect” and allowing it to break the map’s border at the top and the bottom (to show that it doesn’t just end at the map’s edge). I also indicate the approximate shape of the extensive Parque Arví to the top left of the map – the one and only destination of MetroCable Line “L”. This is probably the element I’m least happy with in the whole map – while it’s a nice piece of information to include, I also feel that it perhaps draws a little too much attention to itself. Maybe it’ll grow on me?

As always, thought, comments and critiques are welcome. This one was a lot of fun to do: I had a very clear idea of what I wanted to achieve and it all came together with a minimum of fuss in a short amount of time.

It shows Metro lines, BRT lines, Tramway and Aerial Cable Car lines.

澳洲10开官网开奖 says:

I last reviewed Medellin’s transit map back in 2014 (1.5 stars), but this new version is sufficiently different for me to re-evaluate it. The 🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划things I notice are the route lines are much thicker and the labels are much bigger, changes which improve the map tremendously over the spindly previous version. 

However, some of the MetroCable lines still have strangely crooked paths: the kink in the “K” line remains unfathomable, as does the angled station marker at Acevedo. The new tram line also has two small and unnecessary kinks in it. And I really don’t understand why the “1” bus route is placed below the “2″ on the way out to the University of Medellin 🔸澳洲开奖 it has to cross over it at Industriales. Speaking of which, the section from Industriales to Plaza Mayor remains very unconvincing.

The legend is more comprehensive than the old one and now offers English translations, but it does feel like it’s just been thrown into the available spaces at the bottom of the map, making that whole section feel very busy and cramped. One wonders what the map makers are going to do 🔸澳洲开奖 Line 3 is complete and they need to add station labels to it.

Finally, while the idea of icons for each mode is nice, there’s very little visual difference between the icons used for Metro, tram and gondola, which makes them a little tricky to tell apart at 🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划glance.

🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划rating: Better than before, but still somewhat cramped and disorganized. Two stars. 

PS. Watch this space for a quick redesign of this map – I got inspired while preparing this post and quickly put together something quite different in its approach.

This is the official network map of Bogota’s Transmilenio, I wanted to know what do you think about it. I think this one is useless, we don’t use it a lot because it doesn’t show the routes.

澳洲10开官网开奖 says:

This is an interesting one. While the map is executed quite nicely with bold lines and clear labels, it is – as okamijishi says – almost entirely useless for actually navigating Bogota’s extensive BRT network. 

Leaving aside the fact that north is to the left, not the top, which is instantly disorienting, the main problem is that the map only shows zones (or corridors) within the system, with no indication of how routes interact with them. By my count, there are well over 100 different routes, which can travel over a combination of different zones on their journey. The C15, for example, uses f🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划zones on its journey from Portal del Tunal in Zone H to Portal de Suba in Zone C… but it doesn’t stop at every station on the way, as it’s an express service. At least the letter in the route numbers seem to match the destination zone!

There are lots of tools on the SITP website to help riders find the right route – including a 13-page “cheat sheet” PDF of routes that riders can print out and put in their pocket for reference (no, seriously!) – but it all seems insanely complicated and arcane to me. And this map certainly isn’t going to help on its own. Looks great, not much help. 1 star despite the nice design sensibility.

I have a love-hate relationship with Santiago’s Metro map. The current one excludes very useful information (particularly important for migrants and tourists) such as the existence of private buses to the Airport, or the commuter rail service to Nos (run by another company) that’s been working for more than a year now. It works just as well as the Metro using the same card and price, but for some reason is not mentioned.

This map was made from scratch by comparing distances between existing elements on it with the actual geography, not with the intent of being 100% geographically accurate, but to better show the relationship between the Metro and the Mapocho river (on the original one, for example, Plaza de Armas seems closer to the river than Baquedano, but in reality the opposite holds true). This map is currently being independently developed with the purpose of being distributed as a pocket map.

澳洲10开官网开奖 says:

I’ve actually had this map in my queue for quite a while – it came in during the 澳洲10开官网开奖 World Cup, as Santiago’s official map was making its way to its eventual (and perhaps controversial) victory. Not wanting to post anything that could be seen as influencing the voting one way or another, I’ve held onto it until now. Hopefully you’ll agree that it was worth the wait, as Laura’s Vignelli-like diagram is really quite lovely.

The underlying street grid of the 168澳洲十开奖网 has been removed, with only the river remaining as a geographical landmark. All the lines have been straightened as much as possible, although some curious changes in direction still remain. Personally, I would have gotten rid of the changes in direction at the ends of the 2, 3, 6 and N lines… if feel that this has crossed the line from being a map to being a diagram, and should be treated as such – which means no changes in direction along a line unless absolutely necessary.

The comprehensive legend and list of stations is most welcome and well laid out, and the inclusion of icons denoting “Ruta Roja” and “Ruta Verde” stations – a peak h🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划skip-stop service pattern much like Chicago’s old A/B service – adds another layer of useful information.

🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划rating: A clean and clear alternative to the 168澳洲十开奖网. Three-and-a-half stars.

An imaginary interpretation of of what a fully fledged underground rapid transit system and rail map would look like in Bogotá, Colombia.

I designed the map with heavy influence from the London Underground. The system has 9 lines named after events, places and famous people.

I designed it as an experiment in art in design for a city that needed a cathartic respite from a daily life of stress and lousy public transportation. It is not designed with any technical knowledge or with professional considerations. It is essentially a map drawn from the gut.

The black lines representing commuter and intercity rail are mostly laid out over existing but abandoned track from almost a century ago. Rehabilitating these lines for modern transport is borderline impossible. Thousands of cars cross over these lines daily and the space around them has become so tight that laying down standard-gauge double track would severely disrupt city life.

The city has been squabbling and delaying plans for rail transport since the 60’s. Almost all administrations in the last 30 years have promised to build a subway/underground system but have fallen short of their promises.

The current administration has proposed an overground system that is certain to disrupt the current cityscape in a way the majority of the population is deeply concerned about. It has been labeled a ‘immediate and pleasing’ initiative meant to calm the masses instead of committing to a long term underground solution that could mean a better quality of life in the future. An underground line would only open as early as 2026, but the current overground plans would be ready by 2021.

澳洲10开官网开奖 says:

A nice effort here, though I have to say I actually get more of a Madrid Metro vibe from this than a London Underground one… something to do with the shapes made by the lines interacting, perhaps?

I do think that the heavy black lines used for the commuter rail services are too dominant compared to the actual rapid transit lines, and there’s also a bit of a contrast problem 🔸澳洲开奖 they run adjacent to the dark blue Bochica line – the lines are very similar tonally and seem to bleed into each other. Best practice these days leaves a thin gap between adjacent lines to prevent this from happening (although incidentally, London is actually one of the few maps that still butts colours right up to each other). As this map is pure fantasy, you could also look at swapping the colours on a couple of lines to achieve maximum contrast here – it looks like the only place where the commuter rail runs directly next to another line.

The icons for accessibility and bus stations don’t scale down that well, especially compared to the thick, simple, lines of the bike parking icon. Work at bringing more consistency to y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划icons so that they’re a cohesive and unified set.

Overall, this is a good solid effort, and is obviously a work of some importance to you. Keep refining this, trying to simplify as much as possible – less wiggles in the routes! – and this could be really nice.
