tokyo, contents

Two other common examples of information display. On the left is a magazine advertisement hanging in a subway car. It's basically the front page of the magazine combined with its table of contents; all the headlines you can follow up on if you stop at a newsstand and buy the product.

The signs align with an elevator core, which opens to the street.
