Today i finished compiling the list of websites i could use on the Underground Map and starting putting them an image ofthe underground map using Photoshop. This is a long and very dull process, but if it works, should hopefully be very rewarding by the end of it. I spent a while researching minor details, such as the font used on the Underground to make it look as realistic as possible. I am hoping that when completed, if you don't really look at it, you wont notice it's different. Unfortunately, as 'transport for London' or someone owns the copyright to the font, you have to pay to use it. I found a similar looking one that looks basically the same. Hopefully you will only notice it isn't actually an underground map when you actually stop to read it. You can see on the image i replaced one of the names in the key so you can see how close i was to replicating the font they used.
