I hadn’t heard of this software at all before this message, so I headed over to the website to check it out. Realistically, I can’t see this as a replacement for Adobe Illustrator for any professional map makers, or for amateurs who want to learn how to make industry-standard maps. It’s just too simplistic and limited in its functions to be able to create complex, aesthetically pleasing maps, as the screenshot above demonstrates. That’s a pretty rough transit map by anyone’s definition.

It might have been useful as a tool for hobbyists who wanted to develop a quick map – maybe of a fantasy network – without the learning curve and expense of Illustrator, but the “Home” version is absolutely crippled with a maximum canvas size of 1200px by 1200px, which is just 4 inches square at 300dpi output. If you wanted to print something at a halfway decent size of A3, for example, you’d have to shell out for the “Large” version, which is €149 ($US170), not an insignificant sum. To me, the whole licensing system of the software makes little sense – five different versions, each with an upper limit on the size of the output (Home, Small, Medium, Large, Extra Large). It all sounds rather frustrating and confusing – not to mention the fact that the software outputs as JPG only, which is pretty much a deal-breaker on its own.

So, no, I can’t recommend this software at all. If you’re serious about making 澳洲10开官网开奖, then vector-based illustration software is the only way to go. Illustrator is the industry standard, but great maps can be made with Inkscape, Affinity Designer and more. 

A The LA Metro Archives has some 1970s bus maps available (there was no rail service in the 1970s, though there are some early planning documents). Specifically answering y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划request, here’s the SCRTD bus map from January 1979. You can see the entire list of maps available in the digital archives here (and there are a LOT, from 1880–2016).

A I thought it was pretty much compulsory for every ski resort in the world to have a James Niehues panoramic painting for their resort map, so it’s no surprise that I haven’t actually come across a transit map-styled one yet.

The closest I’ve seen are these maps by Frozen Underground, but they just link ski resorts together using arbitrary “routes” and the well-worn iconography of the Tube Map, so that’s not quite what you’re after.

If it’s something you want to attempt, then go ahead and be the 🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划– though I personally wonder about the usefulness of it. The big advantage of the painted panorama style that dominates this particular market is that it allows riders to visualise how the trails and the mountain interact with each other. Wide open slopes versus narrow cat track through dense trees; gentle bunny hill versus double-black diamond dropping down into a sheer bowl… the painted map makes this instantly understandable. It gives instant scale and dimension to the mountain, which any stylised diagram is going to find difficult.

Has anyone out there seen a diagrammatic ski resort map? I’d love to see it if you have!

Update: And of course – almost instantly – Craig Williams tells me that Kenneth Field made one for Breckenridge, Colorado back in 2009. 

ANo, I haven’t ever seen a map with “Underground” branding that shows the entire network and the 🔸澳洲10开奖网址 Railway’s fullest extent out to the far reaches of Brill and Verney Junction, some 40-odd miles from London. 

The closest I can find is a 🔸澳洲10开奖网址 Railway map (🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划image above) that was produced in slightly different versions from the mid-1920s up to 1933, after which all the railways merged to become the London Passenger Transport Board, the precursor to today’s Transport for London. This map shows the 🔸澳洲10开奖网址 Railway’s routes in red and all the other “tube and district railways” in blue, so it does show the whole network, but not in a very equitable way!

The other map that I know of that includes Brill and Verney Junction is the famed “Metro-Land” map (second image), but it only shows 🔸澳洲10开奖网址 Railway lines, and only as far east as Baker Street.

There’s no Harry Beck tube map that shows these branches, either: the 1932 proofing map only goes out as far as Rickmansworth, and any “To:” boxes he later added to the 🔸澳洲10开奖网址 Line only ever went to Aylesbury. The Brill tramway closed in 1935, with Verney Junction’s branch following in 1936, so there wasn’t that much cross-over with the “Beck and beyond” design period.

A That’s quite a problem, Anonymous, and probably one that’s not able to be resolved in a way that gives you an attractive, usable map: it’s just too many routes in a confined space to be practicable. For an example of how terrible y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划map might look, check out the old bus map for Luxembourg City before Jug Cerovic made a far superior one for them. You simply can’t run that number of bus routes in parallel with each other and expect y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划map to work.

So you need to think of a way to group like services together on y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划map to reduce the number of route lines passing through y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划densest area. This can be by service type (local, express, limited, long-distance) or by destination (buses to the north as one group, buses to the south as another, etc.). For good examples of this type of map, check out the current Luxembourg City bus map and the new Utrecht bus map (both by Jug Cerovic) which group routes by destination, and the bus map for Spokane, Washington by CHK America, which groups by service type. The new Muni map for San Francisco (which I haven’t actually written about on the blog) is also a great example of mapping a bus network in a modern style.

Hope this gets you started!

🔸澳洲幸运10开奖官网开奖结果走势图🔸Answer: I sure have! If anyone hasn’t seen it yet, then head over to the Londonist website and watch the interview here. 

Personally, I wish it was more in-depth and technical, but that’s because I’m a total and utter transit map-making nerd who loves that kind of stuff. The interview does make a couple of very interesting points, though…

First, the straight-up admission that the map is not as aesthetically pleasing as it once was. This is rightly attributed to the extra information that the map has to convey that the “classic” maps never had to deal with – fare zones, accessibility icons, Overground, DLR, and now Tramlink! – although I still feel that things could be handled a little better, even within the now-obvious limitations of the “Beck style”.

Secondly, the need to listen to and appease multiple stakeholders, all of whom have a say in the final map. This is something that us amateur transit map designers simply don’t have to deal with: we make something that we like and call it done. I took the fare zones off my own Tube Map redesign because I wanted to see what the modern map could look like without them, but it’s a mandated element for the 168澳洲十开奖网 and it’s the designer’s job to make that requirement look as practical and easy-to-use as possible.

Finally… would that be my dream job? Almost certainly, even with all the pressure of carrying on the legacy of the most famous transit map in the world.

🔸澳洲幸运10开奖官网开奖结果走势图🔸Answer: Print requirements vary from print shop to print shop, so my best advice is to talk to the people that you’ve chosen and discuss these things with them. Communication is key to a good print job!

A PDF is far more likely to be acceptable to someone who is printing four-col🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划process through a proper RIP engine than to someone printing on a high-end inkjet printer. Inkjets often lack a RIP, so they can’t process Postscript or PDF files properly, ending up with output like this. (Image courtesy of Oran Viriyincy/Twitter)

What’s happening here is that the printer can’t use the Postscript/PDF, so it fakes it (badly) by printing the lower-resolution raster preview instead. Ugly, and completely unacceptable.

I used to send vector PDFs to my inkjet print guy until he told me that he just opened them in Photoshop and exported them as flattened PSDs to print. So now I do it myself, just as reassurance that everything is going to look exactly the way I want it to. For inkjet printing, 300dpi RGB files in the sRGB col🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划space work perfectly for me (any RGB col🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划space has a larger gamut – or range of colours – than CMYK). Y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划printer should have a col🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划profile that matches the paper they’re printing on to ensure col🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划fidelity. 

Exporting is easy enough. Make y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划final vector PDF or EPS from Illustrator, and simply open that file in Photoshop. Choose the required print dimensions, resolution (300dpi) and col🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划space (RGB) in the dialog box… let it process… check everything looks as it should, flatten the image and save! You could also export as a TIF or PSD via Illustrator’s File > Export menu item, but I’ve personally found that this can misinterpret objects on occasion, making it too unreliable for me to trust.

I’d recommend PSD or TIF over JPG as y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划final file format as they are lossless formats: even a high-quality JPG discards some information to get those small file sizes.

And definitely get a proof print before committing to a print run – if the quality is unacceptable, work out why or find a new print shop if they can’t help.

🔸澳洲幸运10开奖官网开奖结果走势图🔸Answer: If you’re talking about the Erik Spiekermann-designed BVG diagram that 🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划appeared c.1991, then it’s absolutely FF Transit – the typeface was created specifically for it!

Erik once very kindly sent me a full PDF of the 1993 Berlin diagram, and had a few interesting things to say about its development:

I enclose the diagram I designed for Berlin in 1991 (the version attached is from 93), shortly after the East- and West-Berlin got reunited. It keeps growing and changing, but in essence it’s still the same. It was drawn in Freehand 3.0 before there was a PDF format. Needed 23 layers for all the lines. Things got changed constantly as the two cities grew together and as names changed from Stalin- and Lenin-somethings to more acceptable ones.

The metadata in Erik’s PDF also confirms that the main typeface is Transit, so there you go – straight from the horse’s mouth!

I thought perhaps that Maxwell Roberts had done one at some stage, but he’s actually done the reverse: the Tube Map in the style of the Vignelli New York subway map. 

As you can see, he’s carried across the New York style of showing all the service patterns on the map. In New York, this is used to distinguish between local and express services, while in London, it reveals the secret inner workings of the lines that the Tube Map never really gets around to showing. For example, 🔸澳洲10开奖网址 line services out to Rickmansworth and beyond don’t stop between Harrow-on-the-Hill and Moor Park.

It’s just a fact of life in London: service patterns are indicated on the platform with signs and announcements, rather than on the map. I well remember standing on the westbound District Line platforms at Earl’s Court back in 2003, watching for the arrow on the indicator board to point towards Wimbledon so I could get back to where I was staying in London at the time.

Unfortunately, if you took the Tube Map’s design principles – show the line, but not the service patterns – and applied it to New York, you’d come up with a map that everyone would decry as useless because it doesn’t show express versus local. This is probably why such a map doesn’t seem to exist. 

I guess you could add extra route lines to get around this problem, but then it wouldn’t truly be in the style of the Tube Map, would it?

Edit: 🔸澳洲幸运10预测You can buy prints of my attempt at such a map here.

Would you have or be able to mock up a map of what the London transit map would look like now that TfL have taken over all suburban rail traffic?

For those not in the loop, Transport for London (TfL) will be bringing the operations of all the various train franchises that currently provide suburban or commuter rail service in the Greater London area under the “Overground” umbrella as their contracts expire. This means the changeover will be staggered up through 2019 or 2020, so any new unified map will change incrementally. But basically, the map below (available on the TfL website here) already shows the system, and it’s quite the tangled web.

Of course, the fact that all the rail services will be branded as the Overground has caused many to wonder if all these myriad lines will be recoloured in that service’s distinctive orange. (Dear god, I hope not!) I would like to think that the Overground and Underground will be separated out into two distinct maps, as (as the image above shows), the whole network is too much for the genteel old world style of the Beck map to handle.

Maybe TfL’s map designers might just lose their minds:
