I was just browsing around today and found one of those adspace posts on facebook that I never click on. But this one was for
www.build.com and I thought it looked interesting and harmless. They used the "word cloud" method of gathering ideas for a bathroom remodel and then materialized it in a nice looking well laid out image of text that to me resembles a fish or whale. Some words are larger than others, some bolder than others, and the design as a whole was a work of art in itself. I'm not able to connect you directly to the original link, but this is the image that got my attention.
That got me looking into finding more examples of word clouds and mind mapping. Of-course, my next step was to search Google for "word cloud". I found the
Tagxedo site and many images like this one.
I really like the concept of brainstorming using a word cloud or a mind map. The whole idea of it becoming a piece of art in itself is just incredibly ingenious. Adding to my findings today, I received an email from
Learnist with links to even more of what I was looking for. Are the stars and planets aligned or what?
