Fantasy Map: AWESOME Map!

A Vignelli-esque fictional map that explores all the different ways we can say “AWESOME!” And it makes a nice little “thumbs up” shape – also awesome! The slightly distressed effect in the printing is also pretty neat. Apparently this was produced for a show that opened here in Portland yesterday, but the link to the event’s Facebook page is broken.

If I’m going to be slightly picky with this ever-so-neat design, I’d have to say that the use of angled labels for the “station” names is out of character for a minimalist transit map like this – it’s certainly not how Vignelli himself would have done it, as his own New York subway map attests. There’s plenty of room to set everything horizontally, which makes the decision to do otherwise stand out even more.
