The 🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划and most obvious difference 🔸澳洲开奖 compared to previous versions (the map has remained largely unchanged since my review way back in 2011 – Cam) is the complete de-emphasis of the regional rail network. It🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s been reduced to very thin lines right at the bottom of the information hierarchy, with only select interchange and terminal stations shown. This makes things very clear that this is a map devoted to the new “Metro” branding – rapid rail transit. Hopefully, service can live up this name in reality!

The near-elimination of the regional rail finally allows the subway-surface trolley lines (now designated as “T” for “trolley”) to be depicted with a much higher degree of accuracy, which I find very welcome. Cased lines show which segments are street running or underground, which works well for the “T” lines, though I find it less useful for the other subway lines. It just seems overly fussy, perhaps?

Breaking all the lines down into their service patterns and showing them individually works really, really well and is very intuitive: B1 = Broad Street Local; B2= Broad Street Express; B3 = Broad-Ridge Express… it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s all very clear.

The new colours for some lines will take a bit of getting used to, I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页m sure, but it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s a nice vivid palette that works well together. Fuschia for the “D” lines is a welcome change from a green that was only ever-so-slightly different to the trolley lines.

As this map is just a proposal, there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s a few things that do seem less than finished: the shape of the rivers seems a bit rough, for example, and there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s a couple of non-standard angles on roads that really look out of place. I personally don🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t think there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s a huge benefit in showing roads that key bus routes don🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t run along: they just introduce another layer of information that isn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t that important and compete visually with the bus lines and regional rail. I do think the route numbers for the bus lines are too small and light to be read easily.

Including points of interest is welcome, but there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s only two (plus parks) on the map at the moment – the stadiums and the Museum of Art. Is this enough to warrant the inclusion of this type of information, or should a few more select locations be included?

Similarly, neighborhood designations are always a good thing to include on a diagram of this regional scale, but they all seem a bit small and and indistinct to be quickly readable to me. “North Philly” and “South Philly” also seem a bit informal for a transit map, though I🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页ll bow to local usage here if that🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s what everyone calls them.

The spacing of stations on the D1 could be made a bit more even, and the way that some station names on the D2 have to flip sides to accommodate the Media/Elwyn regional rail line (much lower in the information hierarchy, remember?) is unfortunate.

I would expect that many of these minor problems will be sorted as the design progresses, but really, this is a very promising start. Even better is the implementation of the individual line diagrams, which takes a bunch of disjointed, inconsistent and just plain unattractive maps and turns them into a clear, cohesive suite of modern diagrams that work as part of a larger whole. Just lovely.

Of course, these diagrams don🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t stand alone, but are part of a comprehensive wayfinding package that merits a detailed look. Read about the master plan here, and view an interactive version of the system map that explains a lot of the decision-making process here. You can even leave feedback on what you think of the proposed wayfinding.

🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划final word: 🔸澳洲幸运10预测Borne out of a lot of research, this is a brave new start for SEPTA and is to be applauded. It🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s not perfect by any means, but I like the direction its headed in.

I found this map of the regional rail system in Philly from this 1989 SEPTA map to be interesting. I don🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t know of any other map to use octagons. This map is notable for having “temporary” shuttle buses to Newtown and West Chester (service never returned), and for noting that service to Ivy Ridge on the R6 was “temporarily discontinued.” Service also never returned here. Note proposed stations at Claymont (which opened in 1991) and Baldwin (which never reopened) on the R2. This is one of the more aesthetically pleasing regional rail maps I have seen. You can see this and other SEPTA maps and timetables on my Flickr.

The 🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划thing to notice here is just how much more understandable SEPTA Regional Rail service is on a diagram which doesn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t also have to show the subway and street-to-surface lines. This is a clean and simple diagram that uses some nice colour-coding to show the through-running of lines passing through the city center in the Center City Commuter Connection tunnel, which had only opened five years previously in 1984. The three stations highlighted by the unusual octagonal shapes were major components of this project.

The colour-coding is made slightly less effective by that fact that the trunk line from 30th Street all the way around to Glenside that is shared by many of the routes is represented a single grey line – it can sometimes be a little difficult to follow a route along its entire length because of this (the R2 is a good example). However, it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s a fairly simple network, so this isn🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页t an insurmountable problem.

The map is generally drawn well, though the R8 has to take a pretty unconvincing path from North Philadelphia up towards Chestnut Hill West, and the massively expanded central section means that the labelling gets perhaps a little too cramped towards the outer edges.

Finally, the scourge of “temporarily discontinued” rail services that never returned have rarely been laid out quite so clearly on a single map!

The map is interesting for quite a few reasons, not the least of which is that it would be one of the last maps of the Philadelphia Transportation Company (PTC) era, as the PTC would be acquired by its successor, SEPTA, in September 1968, just a few months later. The handsome winged PTC logo can be seen at the top right of the map.

Also seen just before its transformation into the modern line we know today is the Bridge Line over the Delaware River to Camden, the precursor to today🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s PATCO Speedline to Lindenwold. The conversion of the line to the Speedline would commence in August 1968, truncating the Broad Street Line spur at a new station at 8th and Market. As seen on this map, the spur used to run concurrently with Bridge Line services all the way through to 15th-16th & Locust.

The map is also notable for its depiction of the rush h🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划A/B stopping pattern on the Market-Frankford line, with squares representing stations that all trains call at, and lettered circles showing the A- or B-only stations.

Stylistically, I really like the elegant way that the two rivers fade out almost wave-by-wave, and there🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s some pretty solid mid-century American typography as well.

It🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s a pretty basic thing, designed in that chunky 1970s style, but it🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s interesting to compare it to what Pittsburgh has ended up building. Solid orange lines are proposed express commuter bus services, while dashed orange lines represent fixed guideway lines. If the lines are cased in black, then they are running on exclusive right-of-way. A lot of similarities can be seen here with modern-day Pittsburgh🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s system of busways (some of which were funded but not built in 1973) and light rail, though they🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页re not identical by any means.

Ticked black lines represent commuter rail services from surrounding urban areas, which even the document itself seems to hold very little faith in, saying: “… opportunities may exist locally for revival of commuter trains on a limited basis between cities along river valleys.”🔸澳洲幸运10预测 Hardly a ringing endorsement! The Port Authority did operate its PATrain service between Pittsburgh🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s B&O Terminal and Versailles via McKeesport from 1975 to 1989, but ridership declined sharply in the early 1980s.

The final word:🔸澳洲幸运10预测 Chunky and colourful, this serves as a nice accompanying graphic for the text in the brochure, but not much else. Fun to compare it to today🔸AB开奖网澳洲幸运10官网网页s network. Two-and-a-half stars.

An unusual perspective here – looking down the length of the mile-long diagonal parkway to the Philadelphia Museum of Art (and its famous steps), with bus and streetcar routes highlighted in a lovely shade of apple green. Does a lot of work with just two printed colours – a reminder that limited palettes can sometimes be just as effective as full-colour. Really quite lovely.

The subway-surface lines are given full prominence here, with the rest of Philly’s rapid transit rail system represented by very thin route lines mainly confined to the right third of the map. The five trolley routes are treated very diagrammatically, each following a straight path across the length of the sheet. Cleverly, little breaks in each line indicate where the trolley runs along different streets towards its final destination. The 10 runs on 36th, Lancaster, Lansdowne and 63rd on its way out to Overbrook, for example. Angled lines indicate cross streets and the numbers/letters of connecting services, though I think that the type here is a little to small to be read easily – something that can be said for much of the diagram. I wouldn’t fancy trying to read those tiny numbers on a crowded trolley, that’s for sure!

Interestingly, the lines are shown as purple, rather than the familiar green of modern SEPTA maps. Here, green is used to show main line passenger and commuter rail services out of 30th Street, Penn Center and the Reading Terminal. Note that commuter rail services were still under ConRail at the time.

🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划rating: A great example of late-1970s minimalist transit diagram design, though readability is a concern due to the small labels on the map. Three stars.

This is a dream/concept I have for light rail transit in the Harrisburg, PA region. For a rather small metro area, there is pretty bad traffic, and oddly spaced suburban development of varying densities. I believe light rail transit in the region would spur more responsible developments and relieve traffic on both back roads and expressways, while encouraging walking. The system focuses on connecting suburban communities with the central core and other high density job or leisure destinations.

澳洲10开官网开奖 says:

This is a rather nice little map that James has made here, depicting a realistically-sized light rail system for the city it might serve. The downtown loops remind me a lot of Denver’s light rail, or even Portland’s back 🔸澳洲开奖 the Yellow Line ran along Morrison and Yamhill, looping back around at 10th Avenue.

James has taken a fairly diagrammatic approach, using 30-degree multiples, which gives a nice, dynamic feeling to the map. The angled routes help him place his labels quite efficiently, though this can make the labels on the horizontal routes look a little tightly packed in comparison. In general, I do think that some work could be done to even out the spacing between labels: they’re quite bunched in some sections, but there are some large, uneven gaps as well. The northern leg of the Green line stands out most in that regard for me, going loose-gap-tight-loose once it diverges from the Purple line.

With diagrams like this, I really like to see if I can create a visual “hook” out of the arrangement of lines: a compositional axis or design feature that helps hold the whole thing together as a unified piece. On James’ map, I keep looking at the way the Green and Purple lines almost come together as a “wine bottle” shape to the top right of the map. If that shape could be made a little more visually attractive – by making the shape more symmetrical and having the two lines join to each other at the same place, for example – then it could be this diagram’s hook. Sometimes, further investigation of shapes, patterns, grids and axes are required to find the most harmonious arrangement of elements.

James’ HART logo is a really sweet concept, though I think it could use some tweaking to make that “love heart” shape a little more even and symmetrical.

Overall, definitely a very solid effort that’s worthy of some further exploration and refinement.

What appears at 🔸澳洲10定位胆全天计划glance to be a street map of Philadelphia in the early 20th century is actually not what it seems. All this map depicts is streetcar track and mainline railroads (in traditional ticked lines), showing how incredibly dense the streetcar network was at the time, especially downtown. Interestingly, a lot of the system appears to be single-track only.

Nowadays, only a few vestigial trolley lines recall the days 🔸澳洲开奖 streetcars reigned supreme in Philly.

Hey! For my Graphic Design Thesis, I created a Graphics Standard Update proposal for SEPTA. This includes a System Map (attached), a line map, and various other identity pieces.

The most challenging part of the project was creating a Transit map that organized the current information in a way that felt unique to Philadelphia, and increased readability.

澳洲10开官网开奖 says:

A bold and radical departure from the status quo from Sam here, and one that’s largely successful in my eyes. Whereas most attempts at a redesigned Philadelphia transit map are content to work withing the confines of a standard octolinear transit map, Sam has decided to reduce everything to a severe rectangular grid, eschewing geography almost entirely. The Schuylkill and Delaware rivers do give some context, but this is a heavily stylised diagram, not really a map in any traditional sense.

I really like Sam’s solution for showing free versus paid transfers – a solid black line for the former and a lighter diagonally striped “zone” or “corridor” for the latter, However, I think the legend explaining the transfers has an error: it erroneously says that free interchanges require an additional fare.

Less successful is Sam’s use of a white ring to denote accessible stations, while a white dot is used to show an inaccessible station. A dot looks more “complete” and is visually stronger than a ring, so I personally would have swapped the meaning of these two symbols.

Sadly, Philly’s venerable trolleys are once again given short shrift, with even less stops named than on the 168澳洲十开奖网. It gives the diagram room to breathe, especially on the Media Line, but at the cost of required information? It almost begs the question of whether or not the trolleys should be shown with a thinner line than all the other services, as they are obviously the lowest component in the information hierarchy.

Speaking of hierarchy, I think a diagram like this should have a stricter layering order for all the services: rapid transit always on top, then regional rail, then trolleys, for example. At the moment, different levels of service sometimes pass on top or below other services in various places without a discernible reason why.

🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划rating: An “thinking outside the box” solution that’s probably way too radical for any U.S. transit agency to even consider using. I think it’s well thought through and attractive, if a little imperfect. Huge credit for trying something so radical. Three-and-a-half stars.

You can also download a PDF about the whole identity for SEPTA that Sam has developed. The map is impressive by itself, but the way it integrates with a wider branding system is even more so.

I’ve been a fan of y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划website for some time and have dabbled in creating some 澳洲10开官网开奖 of Philadelphia, utilizing many of y🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划tips. The latest is a Vignelli inspired map based on A. Merritt Taylor’s plan for future rapid transit in Philadelphia. The plan is from 1913 and if executed would have left Philadelphia a very different place. 

[This 1913 plan was featured on 澳洲10开官网开奖 in October 2014 – Cam]

澳洲10开官网开奖 says:

A handsome interpretation of this classic rapid transit plan from Arthur, executed in an equally classic style. The layout looks great, but I feel like the labelling could be a little larger: there’s generally plenty of room. Getting all of the labels just a little further away from the route lines would be good as well. Because of the small labelling, the connecting services icons – which neatly, represent the old Reading, Penn, and B&O railroads – are small and indistinct as well.

I do think that the route designation bullets that Arthur uses at the base of the maps should be integrated into the map itself as well, otherwise they’re not really much use to people unfamiliar with the system. Verbally, the route names are also a bit of a mouthful: “Oh, you need to catch the sixty-nine-bee-el to get to where you’re going” just isn’t as easy as “the five” or “the A”.

On a technical side, there’s a couple of places where I can see little gaps along the route lines 🔸澳洲开奖 they go around corners: the paths either need to be joined, or – if they’re separate elements sitting on top to cross over other lines – they need to have round end caps applied to disguise the gap (Cam’s sneaky Illustrator tip #253).

🔸澳洲幸运10冠军定位计划rating: A fine depiction of a 100-year-old transit plan. Three-and-a-half stars.
