The psychology of technology and emerging media
Media Psychology in Wordle
Attention typography addicts, word-smiths, artists, and web-procrastinators! I have just come across the coolest site: Wordle. It creates art from your words. It is like the bubbling exercises to spur creativity. This way, you not only get to push your brain to think about the words that describe your concept but you get to have a cool piece of art when you’re done.
