\"middlesex\"<\/p>\n

As a followup to last week’s post about university campus maps in London<\/a>, my attention was drawn to the Middlesex University campus map<\/a> which I had overlooked. <\/p>\n

This was unfortunate, as it is far and away the best London university campus map I’ve seen. It’s in 2D, and uses a little bit of 3D to emphasise the key building, without overusing the effect. It ticks all the boxes for good design – particularly, it’s a good use of a select set of colours, which don’t overwhelm the map, Arrows discretely show access points, the main one shown with a slightly larger arrow. Trees are shown as an attractive blend of translucent circles. The symbols are well thought out, and include the “official” tube, train and cycle logos. <\/p>\n
