Create Stunning Custom [Story] Word Clouds: Tagxedo

Create Stunning Custom [Story] Word Clouds: Tagxedo | Just Story It | Scoop.it

What I love to do is take a story text and create a word cloud. It's fun and a different way to create a story graphic when you need to. Now comes along a great free tool to do this even better! Read the review below from Robin Good:


From fellow curator Robin Good: Tagxedo is a great, free web-based tool that allows you to create stunning covers, images for articles or posters, based exclusively on words.

 

You can either input the words yourself, or provide a website URL, a Twitter account, a news or web search and Tagxedo will create a "word cloud" by tapping into that word "universe".

 

There dozens of different controls to customize your word-art creations including the ability to change layout, fonts, colors, shapes and even density of your artwork.

 

The final work can be shared easily on social media or saved in your preferred graphic file format (jpg or png) and at your desired resolution.

You can see some examples here: http://www.tagxedo.com/gallery.html 

 

or try it out immediately here: http://www.tagxedo.com/app.html

I love Wordle.  So, I really love this idea of incorporating shapes.

The Power of Story in Business Analysis

The Power of Story in Business Analysis | Just Story It | Scoop.it

Tell me if you’ve heard this one before – you’re on a project that was thrust on your stakeholder groups from high above.  They were insufficiently consulted during the problem definition phase, and they are now questioning everything during implementation. These stakeholders can’t get the project to be outright cancelled, but they can cause it to be ultimately unsuccessful if they don’t commit to putting their time and energy into ensuring that the solution being developed is appropriately used.


Sound familiar? It sure does to me! 


So what is a leader, manager, consultant to do? Add stories into the mix.


I like this article because it directly addresses the difficulties of project management, enrolling people to your cause, and how stories can be one of the remedies applied.


The author includes 3 steps to shift the situation and get your projects back on track. If you are stuck -- read this. 


And if you consult with others, tuck this list in your back pocket to keep your clients & project on track.
