I think overall, even though these are much more of a step into graphical illustration, which is something I haven't explored for a while I'm pretty pleased with the outcome. I think they all communicate the individual identity of the underground networks really well, even though they probably weren't the most complex to execute. I don't really feel like i've managed to put my own individual 'voice' into them all that much - largely because they involved a lot of referencing and tracing to get just right, but I think thats largely something illustrator does very well - clean, clear, graphical illustration work, and I think these outcomes definately reflect that.
I have mentioned it briefly in the other posts - but if I recreated these, I'd probably explore using textures a lot more, and maybe look into how I could make the signs look a lot more like weathered, aged real life signs - with noise and scratches and things. I think that would help seperate them from that 'graphic illustrator' syndrome that illustrator-generated images often suffer from too.
