Color Blind NYC Subway Map

2010-03-13T23:03:00.006-05:00

The New York City subway is garnering a lot of attention lately. Paul Shaw's superb book on subway graphics started the ball rolling. Now, Brooklyn based designers David Heasty and Stefanie Weigler (of Triboro Design) have produced a new New York City subway map printed in a single color: Florescent red, of course. As Heasty notes, "The new design strips away the familiar color-coding of the subway system routes while still maintaining a level of hierarchy and functionality. All lines of the map are forced to conform to an underlying grid of 45 and 90 degree angles, yet surprisingly, the landmass contours here are more true-to-life than on the MTA map. The florescent red color becomes an unpredictable variable, as legibility can change completely under different lighting conditions. The neon effect can be intense and retina-burning under certain lamps, washed out and unreadable in other environments, or glow otherworldly under black-lights."
The map has been printed in a limited edition (offset lithography) run of only 300 pieces. At 45 x 58 inches the poster is the same size as the large MTA Subway maps that are located at entrances to New York Subway stations. For more information on the map or to obtain copies, email: hi@triborodesign.com.

Digging For The Heat : Rashid Hadee "Dedication" (2007)

2010-03-12T20:13:00.005-05:00

Dedication is a musical journey through the unpredictable streets of Rashid's hometown, Chicago. The beat maker/MC emphatically states, "It's just like the most amazing city to me. The scenery, the people, the strive, the hunger, the hustle, the ladies, and just the emotion I peep daily from myself and other people all influence me musically and personally. Just like they say in the song "Respiration", I can feel the city breathing. That's real though, I just express everything through music and my everyday living..."
