Visual Complexity: Subway Maps
March 27, 2008
I remember the data visualisation project that I had for my design class … it made me realize how difficult these things are!!! Here are two versions of NYC’s subway maps … I actually like the old one rathe than the one we have right now.
1.
New York Subway Map (1972): Massimo Vignelli for MTA
2.
NYC Subway Redesign: Eddie Jabbour

Yeah they really don’t work … maybe it works for you because you’re logged in? All I get is “Not Found
Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn’t here.”

i just figure it out. the server seems to have duplicate and some ISPs forwarded to the old server and some to the new server. We are fixing it. Never know such thing happens till u said so. thanks aloads
You can check it out after 12 hours. I will notice you when everything back to normal.
Really appreciate that else till forever i never know bout it.
