Sam Loman’s “Underskin” Visualization

March 3rd, 2010 Randall Hand

You might have seen a great infographic popping up around the internet yesterday that showed the human body as a style of subway map (subway maps are becoming an increasingly popular metaphor for network visualization infographics). Most of the graphics were of disappointingly low resolution, but Sam has sent us an exclusive high-resolution copy of the graphic so that you can see all of the details and text.

You can check out his her other fantastic work at his website just-sam.com . See the full-resolution after the break.

Wow!! This is in fact the coolest thing ever. As a med student who studied abroad in London, it’s brilliant!
They even got the copyright Transport for London down as Transport for Body, haha.

I did something like this one year ago..i tried to copyright it but…it was impossible…no one can copyright the human body design and the tube look alike…

Just to put this in context: Sam did this work on the online Illustration MA at the University of Hertfordshire. I would like to congratulate her for producing such a hugely succesful piece of work so early in her studies.

I hate riding the Underskin. There aren’t enough transfer stations… its better just to take the bus.
