In my ILT class last week, we used a website called Tagxedo to create a word cloud; mine is pictured above. The shape of it is Pikachu from Pokemon. I liked how the website was fairly easy to use and is also easy to navigate and customize your word cloud's colors and shape. The hard part is trying to use a custom image to base your word cloud on, and even then it isn't that hard. You select the arrow next to the 'shape' menu, and click 'add image' on the bottom. After that, you upload the image from your computer, and to make the image clearer, you can adjust the blur and threshold, and there you have it. If I ever had to use a word cloud site again, I would definitely use Tagxedo again, due to its easy-to-use interface and customization options.
