Already become a classic map of the New York subway from Vignelli (. Vignelli. ) Was first introduced in 1972, after his work on the system marks the end of 1960. Inspired by the London Underground map designed by Harry Beck in 1933, which in turn was inspired by the electrical circuits, Vignelli simplified map of the New York subway system to a simple graphical. ... There is no point - there is no station. Everything is simple. The whole map is a grid of lines with angles of 45 or 90 degrees.
Great beauty, this piece of history of graphic design, also has some nedostaki. Designer Michael Bierut (Michael Bierut) said:.
The map is a design solution of surprising beauty. However, problems arise if the objects on the map to correlate with the actual. In order to get a graphical map of the beautiful, we had to omit some details. Central Park on a map represented by a square. In reality, it is three times longer than. Imagine a situation when you decide to come to the park for a walk, but to travel on the subway you have spent a few hours, while on the map to get a few minutes....
... But this card is terrible, if you have decided to use the metro. I judge from my own experience when I was in New York, as well as reviews of others who remembers trying to use this map. Remember the scene from the movie ... The Warriors. , ... The problem is not that the central park square, not rectangular, but the disparity between the relative positions of the stations on the map with the corresponding actual geographical location. A pair of stations bother me since 1977 and so far, according to a new version of the map Vignelli 2008. These stations, South Ferry and Whitehall Street, much closer than indicated on the map ».
In 1979, the line card Vignelli has been replaced by a more traditional style of topographic maps. Designed by designer Michael Hertz (Michael Hertz) Card includes other modes of transport - buses and ferries. ... The emphasis now is on the whole. MTA. New York (. Metropolitan Transportation Authority. ), ...
Here is what he thinks about it Vignelli.
... But not because Manhattan is too small, but because they want to reflect too much information, which does not belong to the diagram. In other words, a subway map provides an answer to the question How to get from A to B. That's all, ... explained Vignelli.
Because of geographical inaccuracies Vignelli map has been criticized. ... People were waiting for the map, not a scheme. However, a schematic representation of a common practice throughout the world, starting with the London Underground map of the thirties, ...
All of the new subway map of New York tried to reflect all the information on one card, which led to the semantic overlap, fragmentation map and as a consequence of the terrible sight. The only way for a more visual information transfer - the division into abstraknuyu and geographic flow maps ... Vignelli from A to Z.
The ideal solution?.
...
This summer in New York City MTA unveiled its first major. redesign of the subway map. for more than ten years. Is the new map of the metro Holy Grail? Not at all, says the show in the subsequent discussion.
... Changed the colors to become more harmonious as a whole. However, the green color, which changed the color of sand, reminds me of baby food. Bad look unwanted shadows on individual routes. Benefit from the shadows there is, besides, in some cases they may be perceived as independent routes. This is a stupid design ...
In search of the Holy Grail.
Is it possible to cram everything on one card, and so while it looks good?.
Two of the New York designer David Hist (David Heasty) and Stephanie Veygler (Stefanie Weigler) of the. Triboro Design. found a solution by doing everything in one color. One-color map of the metro. by Triboro, based on the style of the Vignelli map includes all the information about services, streets, and bus and ferry connections.
One of the goals was to try to make geography more relevant to the land of reality than the current map MTA and create a strong sense of typography... At first we tried to make the subway is very fatty, which is characteristic of most of the subway map, but it made the card very difficult for the visual perception. The solution to this problem was the intuitive assumption. We decided to reduce the visual weight of the lines to the maximum. Line routes have become so light that it sometimes seems as if they, and not at all. Through the eyes of the man himself joins the points, metro station, using a thin line as a hint. I would not say that our one-color card is easy to use, but we think it is very functional.
Despite the beauty and functionality of this card in the near future will not be replacing the current official map of the MTA. ... We specifically chose a fluorescent red, so she looked defiant! ...
Map is aimed at solving the 50- year dispute between the diagrammatic and topographic maps. The result is a map that combines the best of both worlds. Unlike the Vignelli map, where the sacrifice of beauty born graphic geographical location of stations, this card is trying to be geographically accurate and at the same time meet the highest standards of standardization corners at every opportunity.
Map of Kip - MEM was created to increase the number of people using the subway in New York. A well-designed maps help to use the subway, not only for beginners but a routine visit of the ... Therefore, an improved design of the subway map can directly affect the number of passengers and indirectly on cork in New York, and pollution. In short, more efficient subway map will make our system more accessible to the metro.
Map Jabbur even attracted the attention of. MTA. , But soon lost interest because of the geographical inaccuracies. ... ...
On the one hand, disputes among the designers did not cease, but on the other hand - in the yard in 2010, the rise of technologies such as. Google Maps. and mobile applications (some applications can even us. suggest how to reach your destination. ), Probably printed maps of underground thing of the past?.
