Lettering + Design = Tagxedo!

Wanted to share a fun website I recently learned about called Tagxedo.
Tagxedo doesn’t just take word clouds to the next level…it makes calligrams easy to create!

I was especially excited to learn about this website because every semester, I teach my Lettering students to create calligrams –

designs in which the layout of the words creates a visual image
related to the meaning of the words themselves.

Check out my typography map I created below in the shape of the

Big Island! The words are from my artist statement!

You’ll find tons of examples and inspiration on their site to get you started, too!
Have fun playing with colors, fonts, and shapes at Tagxedo.com!
Let me know what you create!
