Edinburgh 2016, mapped in the style of early 1900s Ordnance Survey maps
mapping Edinburgh in the style of Ordnance Survey maps from the early 20th century, using contemporary OpenStreetMap data.
Inspired by the wonderful georeferenced maps from the National Library of Scotland, in particular the early 1900s Ordnance Survey Maps.
Using QGIS 2.18. The hardest part is the street labelling and typography. Edinburgh is mapped in great detail in OSM; I had to reduce the detail and shrink the building outlines to get the feel of the originals.
Added a bit of grunge using blending mode, transparency, and a texture (a photo of a plaster wall I took during house renovation)
