Shanghai Subway map design
I love this graphical representation of the tourism highlights in Shanghai.
Filled with joyful colors it shows the lively atmosphere in the very heart of the city. The use of basic CMYK(or similar colour groups) here also catches the essence of Neon-light-lit night scene of China’s largest port city.
Once a small fisherman village, Shanghai has grown to be the largest city in PROC. The city’s soaring percentage of commercialized culture heritage can be seen here as almost every cultural spotlight is being linked through the mass transportation. You’ll be astonished when you visit Shanghai and experience the overwhelming number of tourists there.
A similar style can be seen in Taiwanese illustrator “Colaking”.
這張美麗的地鐵圖以鮮豔的顏色與擁擠的排版方式帶出了上海急遽商業化的現況。不管是古蹟還是人為的遊樂場所，所有的文化景點皆以地鐵串連起來，未來的旅遊發展將日益熱絡。
然而到過上海的人，往往都會在名勝古蹟那裏被人擠的水洩不通，恨不得馬上抽身，上海人潮的盛況實在是令人咋舌。 此圖另一令我喜愛的點就是他顏色的運用，簡單的粉紅藍黃色色系恰好的表現出了滿載霓虹燈的城市夜景，又或者令人想起老上海百樂門時代的風格。
這麼說來台灣可樂王的插畫野蠻有這種味道的。
