How did I make that?

The Data Visualisation Team at Ordnance Survey often create bespoke maps to tell a story or celebrate an event. They use new tools and different pieces of software to make them to showcase what we can do with our data and how it can be visualised in different ways. They often get asked ‘How did you make that?’, so they have created a number of tutorials which do just that.
