Nothing new about redesigning the famous map (or diagram) of London's tube system, but Oskar Karlin found a particularly interesting way to do it for one of his final projects at the London College of Printing (now London College of Communication). He writes:
I started thinking what's different in the world now from when the map was designed and one thing that are different today is time. No one has any time left any more. Time is money. Time is everything and so on. Today you never tell anyone how far away in miles you live, but in minutes or perhaps hours if you're unlucky. So I decided to create a re-design based on time instead of distance (normal maps) or simplicity (tube maps). By combining geographically accuracy with simplicity and time I started out with measuring the time it takes to travel between each station in the whole system.
You can download pdf copies of the redesigned map with and without zones.
