Make It Yourself Word Art
Wednesday, July 1, 2009 at 10:06AM
Word art is everywhere and it really takes an artist to make something beautiful out a of bunch of letters.
Enter Wordle. It's a free online service that takes most of the work out of creating your own word cloud. Simple. You can totally use the words from your blog, or your favorite blog, or you can just type in your own.* Print it out right from the site, or save it using a pdf or image capture command, (just be sure to read the Creative Commons notice). Then, choose your own font, colors and layout. Printed on great paper, your word cloud works as adorable nursery decor, motivational office memo board art, or the basis for a cool embroidered pillow design (see KnitPro to make pattern).
*I highly suggest copying your "set list" after you type it in. The program takes awhile to load so I got antsy and clicked to go back - my words were gone. 1. Give it time to work. 2. If you have crazy fingers, also copy your list.
