Word clouds are great at conveying a breakdown of ideas or phrases.
Here's how I made this exciting one...

This was created by first finding the script from the show "The Big Bang Theory" in season 2 episode 5, entitled "The Lizard-Spock Expansion". After coping the script to the clipboard I went to www.wordart.com and logged into my account, accounts are free so if wanted to make one too feel free.
After clicking create new I imported the script of the episode using the handy import text feature but if you had a set of words to use of your own you could type them in that area.

That gives you a long list of word and clicking visualize it will give you something like this...

You can play with the color and shape if you want but I wanted something that fits the show so I downloaded a picture from the web to use as the background.
In the shapes tab you click the add image button to give you the background.

Next came the hard part. Tweaking all the settings to find one that I felt was both readable and still fit the theme of the show.
Well I hope you liked this. This was inspired by Avery Smith's 30 data science projects in 30 days
