Tutorial 03 Part 1 - Isometric Contour Cube
Channel: Jess Dowson
Date: 2022-08-07

This tutorial is the first of three that covers ways to manipulate Ordnance Survey data provided through the Digimap system into various aesthetic outputs. This tutorial will cover which Digimap layers we will be using, importing and preparing dwg files in Rhino, followed by exporting into Illustrator and developing a particular aesthetic. As with previous tutorials, it is encouraged for those interested to use these as a springboard for understanding the various programmes utilised, and to evolve their own aesthetic. Also, apologies for the amount of keyboard clacking during the tutorial, I used Audition as best I could to minimise it, but I fundamentally need a better microphone setup.
