The London Underground design and overall system has a rhythms and pattern of its own. We follow this pattern as users/the public with flows together with our own daily routine.
As for many of us, this is a repetitive joint pattern, I thought of creating repeat patterns of various shapes created by the London Underground Map.
BOO!
Come to be so useful for creating PDFs for printing the FMP Outcomes!
Now this is something all Londoners (and others) absolutely LOVE about the London Underground!
From my previous post - a typeface created from the London Underground Map - I made a little game where I placed all the letters back to their original position on the map. The aim is to identify the letters using the key.
Not quite finished, going to make some design changes to this at some point.
Typefaces inspired from the London Underground map. When I first came to London, I couldn’t get over the whole system, the beauty and advance of it.
Put together some posters of the most common things said, have a few ‘uncommon’ things coming up though.
Apologies for the rubbish quality- screenshits!

Rapunzel by book artist Dennis Yuen
Cotton cords, Asahi bookcloth, Davey bookboard, Canson paper, linen threads, 2-needle coptic binding 58”w x 35”d x 3.25”h
“Rapunzel is the first piece in a series that re-tells familiar children stories though books, but only through the physicality of these books. Every material in this book is white (or off-white), so the viewer is confronted with its physical form, and forced to address it. Embodied into its binding and form, the essence of Rapunzel can be seen and touched through the physical book.”

Birth of a Book by Glen Milner
This is quite beautiful. I’ll miss these when technology conquers the world.
