A Wordle is a word cloud that is composed of lots of words, organized in a visually interesting way. This week after our class goes over some basic info we'll be making our own WORDLES!!
We're going to use the words/idea generated from our brainstorming in class to be the base of our wordle. Then we will go online to http://www.wordle.net/ and paste the text into the amazing word cloud generator!
From there students were asked to create 3 different wordles who's layout, color and font reflect multiple aspects of their personality:
1) One using the randomize tool
2) Customized
3) Customized
This project helps show students how they can use the elements of font, layout, and color to express aspect of their personality...for example:
In this wordle I used the text from the "About Me" section. I used an antique old world font to express my love for Art History and manuscripts. I chose soft grays and hints of maroon and red to show that I love simplicity and also express my love of Italy, where you see a lot of muted burgundy and earthy tones. I also used a horizontal layout because I like things to be orderly and clear.
