Weekly Image



This is an image that I took while I was in London in December. It is an image of the underground tube sign that was discussed in the book this last week. The function of this image is to show people were the station is for the tube obviously. When I went to London this past December there were Underground signs everywhere because along with the buses and driving, the tube is one of their main transportation because I don't think they have an above ground train system like we do. The type fact is bold and simple shown by distinctive letters from preceding epochs, but with an indisputably 20th century quality. They wanted it to be simple and easy to identify for people from all over the world. What attracted me to this picture was that I took it first of all, and I thought it would be something different to post on here. This relates to class because this was talked about in the last chapter we read.
