TTCSubwayfan's signs


Recommended Posts


The bottom image, I stretch the width of the image by about 15-25% ( I eyeball it just to look exactly the real life signs). Thats INCREASE the width. The height is the same.

 

If you already made the template and premade signs done in a advance, it may not be worth the time to redo all together other then use a software to readjust the size of the image.

I think we're misunderstanding each other here.

 

For a moment, I thought that second sign that you posted was the original that I made - upon closer examination, I noted that it was decreased in size slightly.

 

My original image was 896 (w)x 177 [h] - the physical size of the image, not the amount of pixels.

 

The first resized one that you posted was 624 (w)x 123 [h

 

The last one was 775 [w] x 124 [h].

 

In both cases, the images were decreased from the original size, both by height and width. I think there's some confusion going on :huh:

Forget the image that I created.... Your original image resolution is 896 x 177 ?.... just increase the width size. Leave the height alone. Ok?

Alright, I'll do that. Thanks.

 

Now for an example of what happens when a guy sleeps in, has no ride for school and proceeds to muck around on the computer all day... the complete New York subway in BUSE form.

 

Since there's so much, I'll include it in parts. We'll start off with the A division.

 

Note: rush hour only designations are designated in inverted text, as are express variants ( <6> and <7>. I managed to put together a <6> Pelham Bay Park exposure but couldn't be bothered to do the rest of them. Nonetheless, I'm sure you all get the idea).

And that's that. Future postings will probably be divided by Manhattan trunk line ( (A)(C)(E), (B)(D)(F)(M), etc), and will probably accompany requests.

 

Thanks to all who gave rep to the posts in this thread.

Anyways, I've been working on some streetcar + side signs and I realized that they are too large. The Bratislava streetcar front signs are something like 112 pixels wide, if I'm not mistaken, while the side signs are 108/109 pixels wide (I'm not sure which) and most of my exposures for those exceed that, meaning I'll have to rework them with abbreviations, very thin fonts and the like tears.gif(Oddly enough, the smaller version of the sign that I can work with is only 102 pixels wide... I honestly don't know what I'm to do right now)

 

Side signs don't bother me as much as the front signs do. Damn streetcars and their tapered front ends!!!

That's the wildest thing I have seen in a good bit of time.

 

Thanks

 

Next set of signs? Why not. (A)(C)(E) and B division shuttles. I keep forgetting to do the 42 St shuttle.

Might do some historical routes and/or GOs later... pity you can't do color coded route bullets here, but ah well.

Thank you my sign.

Are you doing this for (G), (J)(Z), (L)(N), (Q), (R) as well, along with SIR Sign, and PATH destination as well?

 

Done, enjoy!

Next set of NYC displays. 6th Avenue + 42 St shuttle. I actually had a 42 St shuttle display set before, it turns out, but I had misplaced the files!

Thanks and can you do EE Whitehall St if possible? Thanks in advance!

 

You're welcome.

No worries.

 

The remainder of the trunk lines will be done - I'll have them up next time I make a post here. No SIR or PATH destinations are planned, being that my knowledge is severely limited at best.

Big update! I've pretty much completed my database of pictograms - if you see something in the selection you like, let me know. The pictograms can be requested:

 

-in place of the route number

-next to the route number

-to the right of the sign

 

Inverted versions of each are also available.

 

Some came with the Brno database I found on the internet, some are recreations of the graphics that come with the Luminator IPS (which I would love to procure a copy of one of these days) and some I made myself.

I hope to update my collection down the road with more, but until then, you can request from any of the above.

I don't feel like posting the images for the rest of the trunk lines, but I have something else.

 

An arrow pictogram that indicates that the vehicle is running into the carhouse, as seen in Bratislava.

 

Now available for requests.

Last one is the narrower variant of the sign I was ranting about in post #33.

May I have an GG World's Fair sign if possible.

Thanks in advance!

Here is a new type of sign I'm working on - the interior BUSE. I can display a whole bunch of things with it, the only thing I can't do is the scrolling across the screen bit as seen in the video a few pages back. But you can request anything that does not scroll.
