INFOGRAPHIC OF THE WEEK
The London Tube map is one of the most iconic pieces of information graphic, however it’s minimal aesthetic means you don’t actually know where you physically are in the city. Attached is a PDF of a geographically-accurate representation of the underground system while still retaining some of the clarity of Beck’s original diagram. What a joy! See more interactive options here: http://bit.ly/qEHWE7
The All Blacks made it to the 2011 Rugby World Cup final, please send those courageous Kiwis all your good vibes to crush the French in the match tomorrow.
