LA Metro just pushed the A Line out to Pomona North with 4 new stations
To celebrate, I dropped:
-3 updated maps in the style of Vignelli, WMATA, and 1967 Chrystie St
-1 brand new LA map in a 1951 NYC Hagstrom / Maxwell Roberts style
Fresh extension, fresh maps. What do you think?

Where’s the Brown, Orange, Pink, Green, and Purple lines? Remember: I’m recreating a 1930 map, where lines had division names/colors. (1/2)

In the late ’70s and early ’80s, NYC introduced distinctive square subway entrance lamps as part of system modernization. I recreated both flat and glow versions of these iconic designs for a new poster and subway map cover concept. A small tribute to a unique era in transit history.
