I found a new app that creates word clouds. I have used Wordle in the past, but the new app that was brought to my attention is
Tagxedo. Tagxedo has a variety of shapes that can be used to create a custom word cloud. As an experiment, I selected one of the shapes (of course thinking "hand made") and selected some of the text from our website. I specified color and font choice and let it do its thing.
I am really happy with the way it turned out and I can see using this online app in some possible fabric designs. I still have some experimenting to do. Wordle can be saved as a pdf file and brought into CorelDraw. Corel allows the importation of pdf files as text. This enables me to move each word separately. I have not tested this with Tagxedo.
Have you experimented with either Wordle or Tagxedo? Do you have another favorite word cloud generator? Let me know.
