Visualization

Parker Woody, who was also in my group, taught Kurt and I about visualization.

Visualization denotes a way to communicate a message through visual means.  In our culture today, we live in a world of visualization - billboards and ads surround us everywhere!

Parker taught us about a cool site: wordle.net.  Through it, you can create word clouds! I'll take you through the process below!

5.  I changed mine to look like this:
