This is small side project I made to visualise the 99designs worldwide community. It's using qgis to aggregate location data into a hex grid and I used MapBox's TileMill to design the maps. If you're interested in doing this with your own data, MapBox made a tutorial for this kind of technique here: http://www.mapbox.com/blog/binning-alternative-point-maps/ http://www.mapbox.com/blog/binning-alternative-point-maps/ Enjoy! :-)
