Again, created in a manner similar to how I did the Berlin Postcards - to get the accurate 'plan' of this particular stretch of tube line I traced over an image of the tube line using the pen tool at different widths. I picked this section because it had a particularly heavy population of lines in one area (meaning it looks a bit better and less spaced out) - I also made sure not to add any type on this one at all; largely because the tube particularly is really iconic, and I think if I put any station names down on it, it'd just look like a cropped copy of the the tube map, and I want it to remain illustrative to a certain degree.
Again, it's largely a basic method of crafting - though honestly I think its appropriate for these illustrations, because signs - especially these intended for navigation, are intentionally created to be clear, bold and graphic, so anyone internationally can figure out where they need to go.
