transitdiagrams Posted July 16, 2019 Posted July 16, 2019 Hey :-) I do transit maps (diagrams) for fun in my spare time to relax. Here is one I was working on this weekend - after a request @Alfred: The Sheffield tram system in my interpretation. I've altered the color palette a little bit (more Bauhaus now) and also introduced route letters. Hope you like and enjoy it - @MattP :-) Feedback is welcome and appreciated of course! Have a great day you all! Chris Alfred, Roger C, DesignSurge and 6 others 8 1 Quote PS: If you like maps you might also have a look at this community!PPS: Want to know more about me and my ways?

Roger C Posted July 16, 2019 Posted July 16, 2019 @ChrisSmere That's a great design, and an excellent clear lay out. Yes, it has a classic look. Lovely style. Wow! It seems transit maps can make anywhere look good, don't you agree @Alfred? transitdiagrams 1 Quote Affinity Designer & Photo : Win 10

transitdiagrams Posted July 16, 2019 Author Posted July 16, 2019 By the way - the original version was with a brighter background. Only decided this morning to go with the beige version. Here is the white version - just for the sake of completeness: Quote PS: If you like maps you might also have a look at this community!PPS: Want to know more about me and my ways?

transitdiagrams Posted August 26, 2019 Author Posted August 26, 2019 Hey :-) And here is an update of the transit map: new typeface bigger font size, swapped C and D at Cathedral What do you think?

Wosven Posted August 26, 2019 Posted August 26, 2019 Nice map as usual Perhaps this last font is easier to read since it's larger? Shouldn't there be a ligature for "ffi" in Sheffield or should we read it as: shef-field and it's logical? But I like better with the other font (Yanone Kaffeesatz?), it looks more modern. transitdiagrams 1 Quote

I don’t mind the change of font, and the swapped C and D is better, but I agree that ‘Sheffield’ with an ‘f’ followed by a separate ‘fi’ ligature doesn’t look right. transitdiagrams 1 Quote Alfred Affinity Designer/Photo/Publisher 2 for Windows • Windows 10 Home/Pro Affinity Designer/Photo/Publisher 2 for iPad • iPadOS 17.5.1 (iPad 7th gen)
transitdiagrams Posted August 26, 2019 Author Posted August 26, 2019 @Wosven @Alfred thanks for the feedback! I guess I have to go back to the other font Quote PS: If you like maps you might also have a look at this community!PPS: Want to know more about me and my ways?

Granville Road is the location of The Sheffield College, not The “Sheffiled” College. transitdiagrams 1 Quote Alfred Affinity Designer/Photo/Publisher 2 for Windows • Windows 10 Home/Pro Affinity Designer/Photo/Publisher 2 for iPad • iPadOS 17.5.1 (iPad 7th gen)

transitdiagrams Posted March 21, 2020 Author Posted March 21, 2020 Due to the current situation I found time to update my Sheffield map - now featuring the official line color of the purple line (instead of my red): What do you think of this new iteration?
