Printing Boston's Subway Map - Video


Through our friends at Ward Maps and Boston Coasters, AntiDesigns printed the MBTA's subway map on a couple different t-shirts and hoodie styles. I put together this little video to show the process. Everything will be available on MBTAGifts.com once the site goes live...

This print is a 5-color, hand-pulled screen print. The red and blue lines were printed wet-on-wet, as were the orange and green lines. This video was shot while I printed the last two shirts of the production, that's why you see each of the screens come down twice. The product developers decided to do runs of shirts WITH the station names and WITHOUT them. I really like the look of the subway map without the station names, and tip my hat to the people pushing to do both styles...

Music by the Gaslampkiller / Gonjasufi ripped off the Low End Theory Podcast #19.
