The groovy Wordle is “a toy for generating ‘word clouds’ from text that you provide. The clouds give greater prominence to words that appear more frequently in the source text. You can tweak your clouds with different fonts, layouts, and color schemes.” So go rock it! [Via]
Hand-made fonts beg to be touched. [Update: Reader Hanford Lemoore reports getting malware notices with the link, so I’ve removed it from the main text. I’m not seeing any problems (at least via Mac browsers), so here’s the active link if you still want to click it.]
One thought on “Typographic density & more”
Wordle is a great little app. The best part is that if you print to pdf it’s all vector. I played around with a Wordle made from Obama’s inauguration speech in Illustrator and came up with a nice poster. http://clkoerner.com/2009/01/20/obama-wordle/ [Very cool, Chris. I continue to pine for the ability to place interactive objects like this onto the Photoshop canvas & play with their parameters. But that’s a whole other conversation/rabbit hole. –J.]
