printout map

one aspect that i will be keeping is the print-out map - printed on a4 by the user and can be folded into a pocket sized map:





mould-breaking

random reference to get away from tfl style graphics!





handlebar sat nav

mock-ups

these are only mock-ups, but show some direction in the mapping part.




Welcome...

ok well the first blog eh?

the aim for this project is to encourage people to ride bikes around london more. there are loads of reasons for this - environment, health, road congestion, etc. also its something i'm into.

the first idea was to create a web / print system where people could upload their favourite routes and also ride other people's.

although this outcome would be practical blah blah blah, it's quite a bog standard graphics project. it needs to be much more interesting and exciting for people to actually want to fit cycling into everyday life without becoming a hardcore bike nut - a lifestyle more than a specific activity maybe?

will upload the mock-ups shown last week fyi but they need a serious funking up!

any comments ideas etc always greatly appreciated!
