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

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:

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?

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.

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.

@Wosven @Alfred thanks for the feedback!

I guess I have to go back to the other font :13_upside_down:

No ligatures at all now. That’s cheating! :D

I’ve just noticed a typo which has been present from the beginning. Granville Road is the location of The Sheffield College, not The “Sheffiled” College.

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?
