Data Vis

The attached infographic (data visualization) is a result of feeding all of the words of moby dick into a software program, eliminating all 3 letter and below words, and finally displaying all the rest of the words visually. If you could feed the words of a book into a software program that would allow you to manipulate and display the words in a different way, what would you do? How would you visualize the words of a book in a single frame?

  10. I particularly like images that form actual pictures. If I could do this I would tell the processor to overlay the words in a way that would form a landscape or memorable scene from the book. For instance, I would have it piece all the words of Lord of the Rings together into an image of the Shire.

  23. I would have words programmed into my software and each word would be linked to an image. Then it would lay out images next to each other. Depending on how much the word is repeated the images of the same word would be smaller. If the word was not in the database of words then it would not display it.

  51. I would make a program that places all the words which only are action verbs and 5 letter or more nouns into the program and makes places pictures of what the words mean behind the words.

    So you would have the 5 letter noun or action verb and then a picture of what that word means behind it.
    To implement this is could possibly google search and use the first image that appears for each word in the infographic.
