Transport for London (TfL) has released a new funky cover for its pocket tube maps, designed by conceptual artist Agnes Denes. Celebrating the 25th anniversary of the collaboration with Art on the Underground, the design titled 'Map Connections' illustrates the globe's section in isometric projection, using neon colors reminiscent of the tube map. This artistic piece serves to foster a greater appreciation of the map as a tool for connectivity and nostalgia, reminding users of their place within the urban landscape.
Denes uses Map Projections to reimagine the earth and the place of humans on it. Her projection reimagines our place in the city and will be used by millions of people as they navigate the urban environment.
The new pocket map cover is a perfect blend of old-school artistic technique and contemporary design that sparks nostalgia and intrigue.
Denes' work projects a section of the globe onto a cube, using bright neons to emulate the iconic design of the tube map.
The humble pocket map has become a tourist staple, but often it's unnoticed and unappreciated by the London local.
