Illustrated tourist map of Zirc and its surrounding area
I got the opportunity to draw the illustrated tourist map of Zirc, a small town in a beautiful green region of Hungary. I really enjoyed working on this piece, because Zirc and its surroundings has a lot of interesting spectacles to draw. It was challenging to fit all these buildings and locations on the map, sometimes it took me days to draw one and figure out its right position, but I always find these tasks really exciting and fulfilling. The most complex area to draw was the town center of Zirc, with the mighty building of the Cistercian Abbey and Arboretum.
Zirc és környékének illusztrált turistatérképe
Nagyon szerettem ezen a projekten dolgozni, mert rengeteg érdekes lerajzolnivaló van Zirc körül. A projekt legjobb része az volt mikor kitaláltam, hogy mi hova kerüljön majd a térképen. Ennek a legnehezebb része Zirc belvárosa volt, ahol nagyon sokmindent kellett ábrázolnom, úgy hogy a térképpel ezután is könnyen lehessen tájékozódni. A térkép többi részét nagyon élvezetes volt rajzolni, volt hogy egy-egy épülettel vagy látványosággal napokat is eltöltöttem.

“A bus map you often see is the same thickness and same color line for the whole network: It makes [agencies] look like they’ve got the whole place covered,” says Wiggins. “That’s to the benefit of them and not to the rider.”
Wiggins thinks transit maps designed around coverage ultimately harm the system as a whole. Instead of using the map to find a bus route that works for a particular trip, riders stick to one specific line whose schedule they know—avoiding the map altogether. The result is a ridership that ends up taking a car more than it otherwise might, and one that objects loudly when the agency proposes a system change that would force them to learn a new route.
“I think with a better map, it actually might facilitate people being able to let go a little bit,” he says. “It stops becoming ‘this is my route and this is what I cling to’ and more of a network you can relate to.”
