![]() I have always been particularly curious about the design of subway maps. I think it is time now to talk about my initial design motivations, and my design process in re-imagining the MRT map as a circular map. Although the hype surrounding my map died down after a couple of days, my map still gets revived from time to time and I see a spike on the visitorship count to the page with the map. I was incredible surprised when my map was picked up by websites like coconut.sg and other bloggers, who then proceeded to write posts exploring the ideas of usability and design of subway maps. Some others realized that this map was not official, and began to engage it as a piece of creative work, critiquing the usability and design of the map. Many comments were along the lines of “SMRT breakdown, increase fares, and now this confusing map?”. Some of the comments were particularly hilarious to read, especially those who assumed that my map was the new design released by the LTA. When I woke up the next day, sgag posted my map up and that was attracting thousands of likes and shares. Within a couple of hours, this map went viral, both on Facebook and on Twitter. Just about two years ago, I re-imagined the MRT as a circular map, and posted it on my Facebook page. ![]()
