Thanks to my colleague Ruth Totterdell for giving me a link to the work of Ben Hennig, who is a Postgraduate Researcher at the University of Sheffield's renowned Social and Spatial Inequalities Research Group (SASI)

He has an excellent blog, which includes some of the work that he gets up to over at SASI. This also had an election theme to it this week, with some of the images that the group has been producing.

Head over to WORLDMAPPER for plenty more of these images.
