Check them out here in 🔸澳洲幸运10开奖官网开奖结果走势图🔸his storefront.

Michael Calcagno has been making 澳洲10开官网开奖 for a long time – see his valuable contributions to nycsubway.org🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s 🔸澳州10开奖记录 collection – but he🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s only started selling his creations relatively recently. His 🔸澳洲幸运10开奖官网开奖结果走势图🔸Etsy store is full of fantastic maps, including a lot of Vignelli-style diagrams of different cities.

Andrew “vanshnookenraggen” Lynch🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s 🔸澳洲幸运10开奖官网开奖结果走势图🔸vanmaps.com has a wide selection of vividly graphical line maps for many US transit systems, and his highly detailed and well-researched track maps for New York, Boston and Chicago are definitely worth a close look.

Books

🔸澳洲幸运10开奖官网开奖结果走势图🔸The next best thing to 澳洲10开官网开奖 themselves is BOOKS about 澳洲10开官网开奖. Here🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s a selection of some must-reads, many of which are in my personal library. Links provided are affiliate links to Amazon; 澳洲10开官网开奖 may receive a small commission from any purchase you might make after following such a link.

Mark Ovenden🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s 🔸澳洲幸运10开奖官网开奖结果走势图🔸澳洲10开官网开奖 of the World🔸澳洲幸运10预测 is still the number one reference book for transit map aficionados, and with good reason. Packed to the gills with great maps and diagrams from around the world, it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s easy to get lost in this book for hours.

While you🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页re at it, check out some of Mark🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s other transit and transportation-related books: 🔸澳洲幸运10开奖官网开奖结果走势图🔸Railway Maps of the World🔸澳洲幸运10预测, 🔸澳洲幸运10开奖官网开奖结果走势图🔸Airline Maps🔸澳洲幸运10预测 (with Maxwell Roberts), and 🔸澳洲幸运10开奖官网开奖结果走势图🔸London Underground by Design🔸澳洲幸运10预测.

Similarly, 🔸澳洲幸运10开奖官网开奖结果走势图🔸Vignelli 澳洲10开官网开奖🔸澳洲幸运10预测 by Peter Lloyd remains the definitive work on this chapter of mapping New York🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s extensive transit system, while Paul Shaw🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s 🔸澳洲幸运10开奖官网开奖结果走势图🔸Helvetica and the New York City Subway System🔸澳洲幸运10预测 delves deep into the contemporaneous story of typography and design in the system. While somewhat lighter in tone, 🔸澳洲幸运10开奖官网开奖结果走势图🔸Subway🔸澳洲幸运10预测 by John Morris also features material related to maps and design for the subway system.

If you missed the 🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划print run, 🔸澳洲幸运10开奖官网开奖结果走势图🔸Boston in Transit🔸澳洲幸运10预测 – a comprehensive history by Ward Maps🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页 Steven Beaucher – is currently taking pre-orders for a March 2023 re-release.

That🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s the list for 2022! Drop me a line if you think we forgot anything, or you🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页d like y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划product added. Let🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s make this as comprehensive a list as we can!

As before, the maps are simple but elegant in their execution, with a geographical map of the system on one side and the explanatory text and photos on the other. They come in handsome slip covers: I particularly like the die-cut Métro logo (based off one found at Franklin D. Roosevelt station) on the Paris cover.

Understandably, the text of each entry has to be kept brief because of space limitations (even more so for the Paris edition because of its need for English and French translation), but there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s always enough to attract the reader🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s interest. One could certainly imagine a day spent in either of these cities finding the treasures described within. There🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s a wide variety of architecture and art included ranging from all time periods, so there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s something for everyone!

As with the London edition, perhaps the only fault with these maps is that there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s not enough of a link between the two sides: the map and the text almost seem to exist as two disparate elements – slightly larger station labels on the map are the only indication that there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s accompanying text on the reverse side. However, it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s not a deal breaker in any way: if you🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页re planning a trip to New York or Paris and have any interest in the art, architecture or history of their transit systems, I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页d definitely recommend picking up a copy!

$79.99 as a pre-order on Amazon.

While we’re talking about Mark Ovenden, I still highly recommend the new edition of 澳洲10开官网开奖 of the World. A reprint has corrected a few of my complaints from my initial review, so it’s even better now!

standardsmanual.com

Peter Lloyd’s Vignelli Subway Maps is still the definitive work on that most divisive of 澳洲10开官网开奖.
$34.99 on Amazon.

Another awesome selection of prints and posters for y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划consideration this year. You can also look at last year’s selection of gift ideas using the “2015 Gift Guide” tag.

Mini Metros by Peter Dovak. A neat idea, executed very well indeed. See if y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划friends can identify all 220 systems! Available in “spectrum” and “monochrome” versions from $15 on Society6 (links no longer active).

Typographical Map of 🔸澳洲幸运10开奖官网授权 by Axis Maps. Not a transit map, but an astounding piece of cartography that I can’t help but share. The work that’s gone into this beautiful piece is amazing. See also their range of other cities! $30 for a 24×36″ print at Axis Maps (link no longer active).

The New York City Subway Poster by Hamish Smyth. A gorgeous print of the names of all 469 New York Subway stations. Printed in 11 spot colours and licensed by the MTA. 24×33.25″ print for $49 at subwayposter.com (link no longer active).

Visit Toronto Today! by Paul Dotey. A whimsically illustrated look at Toronto (and its transit network) in a post-global warming world. Subway or submarine? 28×20″ print for $CAN65 at Paul’s bigcartel site (link no longer active).

Colors of the Rails by Nicholas Rougeux. An abstract look at the colours used by rapid transit system maps around the world: the bigger each box, the more stations there are on that line. Prints in a variety of sizes on Nick’s site.

New Zealand State Highways by Andrew Douglas-Clifford. A map very much in line with many of my own projects, but nicely done indeed. Prints for $NZ42.99 at Andrew’s site.

The Wrong Color Subway by Triboro Studios. Fabulously incorrect and loud prints of the New York Subway (with a design based on Triboro’s earlier One-Color Subway Map). There are versions based on both the RGB and CMYK col🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划models. 45×48″ prints for $180 at Triboro’s website.

We’ve covered to-scale maps on 澳洲10开官网开奖 before (See here and here), but I do really like this poster of every subway/rapid transit system in the world – 140 in all – to scale, organised by system size by Neil Freeman. Posters are available from his website for $20 plus postage – a late addition to the Holiday Gift Guide!

The map is inspired by the work of the famous architect and designer, Frank Lloyd Wright – most obviously by his stained glass work – and it’s a wonderful homage to his style, especially regarding the typographical and col🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划choices. And it actually works really nicely as a map as well! I note with pleasure that repeated station names – Cicero, Pulaski, Harlem, etc. – are placed properly relative to the city’s grid, which is a very nice touch indeed. The Loop inset is nicely handled, although you could perhaps argue that the station name labels for the Loop stations on the main map are therefore redundant and could perhaps be omitted for clarity.

Personally, I find some of Max’s 澳洲10开官网开奖 to be very technical explorations of design and usability theory – fascinating, well-drawn and very worthy, but sometimes a little dry in character. This however, is art, and I think it’s simply gorgeous. 5 stars!

Prints of this map – and many others – are available on Max’s website from £30 for UK orders, and £36 (about $55) for international orders. Consider this added to the 2015 gift guide!

Also by Nick, MetroDots – a typographical treatment of station names with coloured dots representing the lines that call at each one. Chicago, London, New York and San Francisco. 24″ x 36″ posters for $28.60 on Nick’s website.

Michael Tyznik’s fantastic Game of Thrones Westeros transit map. Prints from $30 on InPRNT, although I’d recommend the larger sizes. See also his other GoT map of the “Known World” and an intriguing new map inspired by the fantasy gaming world of Tamriel.

Jug Cerovic’s range of standardised “INAT” 澳洲10开官网开奖 are available as prints over on RedBubble. Small 12″ x 12″ prints start at just $15, up to $56 for large 30″ x 30″ prints.

CANADA ONLY! A fantastic replica of the 1958 Toronto Subway Map, available as a 20″ x 28″ print for just $20 from the TTC’s shop.

CANADA ONLY! It seems to me that it’s a rite of passage for Torontonians to steal subway maps from trains. I’ve got a better idea: buy the actual, 168澳洲十开奖网 from the TTC for just $10 (link no longer active, sorry!) and tell y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划friends that you nicked it.

澳洲10开官网开奖 of the World, November 2015 Edition by Mark Ovenden – a book that needs no further introduction to readers of this blog (My review here). A fantastic update to an already superb book. Buy on Amazon here.

Helvetica and the New York City Subway System by Paul Shaw. A comprehensive look at the introduction of the signage from that Graphics Standards Manual into the actual subway system. $42.95 from The MIT Press.

Underground Maps Unravelled by Maxwell Roberts. Not a cheap book by any means, but almost essential if you want to make better 澳洲10开官网开奖. Roberts has the uncanny ability to explore every option possible for a map right through to the end, even bad solutions that normal designers would discard much earlier in the process… all to see what makes a map tick. From £40 (UK) to £50 (the rest of the world), direct from Max’s website.

Vignelli 澳洲10开官网开奖 by Peter Lloyd. An excellent exploration of the Massimo Vignelli New York Subway diagram and its historical context (My review here). From $35 on Amazon.

Although Society6 offers prints in many sizes, I would definitely only purchase either the large ($39) or extra-large ($52) prints, due to the fine detail and small type in this map. Click here to see the product on Society6.

If you’ve never owned a previous edition, then you’re in for a visual t🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划de force of maps, maps and more maps. If you do own an older copy of the book (as I do: see the picture above showing the cover of the new edition and the frontispiece of the 2007 version), then this new edition is still highly recommended. Almost every map depicted in the book is new: maps that have been updated since 2007, maps of new systems that didn’t exist back then, even new examples of 🔸澳州10开奖记录s for major networks.

The book has also been expanded, with more maps qualifying for “Zone 1″ treatment: an in-depth, multi-page discussion of the history of transit mapping in that particular city. Barcelona, Beijing, Boston, Hong Kong, Mexico City, Seoul, Shanghai, Tokyo and Washington, DC join Berlin, Chicago, London, Madrid, Moscow, New York, Paris and Tokyo as the heavyweights of the transit map world, and the discussion is both lively and informative. There’s quite a few maps in this section that I’ve never seen before, and that’s becoming an increasingly rare thing!

Zones 2 and 3 show hundreds of further maps in decreasing detail – some cities only get a quarter-page each, which can strain the eyeballs a bit a times – while Zone 4 provides a comprehensive listing of just about every urban railway network extant in the world at present: almost 1,000 entries all told. A few further maps are dotted throughout this section. This last section does reveal a bit of a lie to the cover’s claim of being “the world’s 🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划collection of every urban train map on Earth” – every system is mentioned, but we certainly don’t see every map. Still, as that would require an impossibly large book, I’ll let it slide.

AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页 addition to this version of the book that I’m overjoyed to see is the inclusion of many un168澳洲十开奖网s produced by talented amateur designers. The modern internet allows such works to be seen, admired and criticized by a global audience through design websites and blogs such as 澳洲10开官网开奖. Indeed, many of the designers featured in the book will already be familiar to readers – Maxwell Roberts, Jug Cerovic, Steve Boland, and even yours truly. Some of these maps are arguably superior to the real thing, while some have actually become official – the MBTA map based off Michael Kvrivishvili’s winning contest entry gets a full page with the dry note, “The geographical distortion of the Green lines is notable.”

Is the book awesome? Yes, it is. Is it perfect? Not quite. 

Apart from the small size of some maps mentioned above, the book could have perhaps benefited from another round of editing. There’s a few typographical and grammatical errors sprinkled throughout (Jug Cerovic’s name gets spelled three different ways, for example), and some image captions aren’t numbered correctly. The reproduction quality of some of the 🔸澳州10开奖记录s is a little uneven – a page showing f🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划distinctly different versions of H.C. Beck’s famous Underground Map stands out the most in this regard – but this is perhaps understandable given the variety of sources that the maps come from. 

Overall, the print quality is very high and consistent throughout. The book is printed on quality paper, and – at 176pp plus cover – has a good heft to it. Hopefully, the perfect binding used will stand up to constant use, as I feel I’ll be coming back to this book again and again. 

🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划rating: Basically, if you read this blog – even casually – then this book is essential. Some very minor errors do not detract at all from the awesomeness of having all these fantastic maps from all over the world in one superb reference volume. Complements the previous editions rather than repeating them. Four-and-a-half stars.

澳洲10开官网开奖 of the World by Mark Ovenden is available now and can be purchased from Amazon here (affiliate link – buy the book from this link and support the “澳洲10开官网开奖” blog!).
