warning: highly addictive fun ahead!


WARNING: if you love fonts & fun... you're gonna LOVE this! highly addictive fun ahead!!

i first came across this fun site a few weeks ago, and then was reminded about it by the wonderful behind my tutorlists' recent post! try this out! go to wordle.net and let the fun begin! you can enter a bunch of words, on a theme, for fun, about your business, about an upcoming event!

here are some that came up for when i entered my shop address in the 2nd field: www.rikrak.etsy.com

then click GO!

you can then keep clicking on *randomize* til you find a colour combo or font or style you love! it's endlessly great! you can also choose your own custom colour palette, change the fonts and more!!

you can also choose to wordle your own list of words (1st field!) or a feed, too! so fun! here's a pretend party invite!


just think of the endless fun uses for these!
so happy wordle-ing! and have a fun weekend, nicies!

Yay! I'm so glad you had fun with it! I just love how random the designs are :)

This is too much fun. Now I have to figure out how to take a screen shot or another way of saving them

the rikrak studio said...

yay! so glad you nicies like it too and it's not just crazy fontlovin' me!

hbic... i see there is a gallery way to save them. but i just screenshot the page ( like i would for any screenshot) then opened up the file in paint (or another program) to edit the sides out! good luck!

I've never done a screen-shot :O I'm going to try and use the code thingy.

And I'm a font freak too! I love typography!

Head Bitch in Charge said...

I did a quick one!

Oh, this looks like so much fun! I'll have to try it out. I always thought these were made a little more manually by graphic designers with too much time!!

Crafty Ash said...

thanks :)

WAY fun! I printed one out with all the words I could think of to describe my friend & made a note card out of it to write her a note

Check out this one I made for the bookbinding team: http://etsybooks.blogspot.com/
I can see it might be addictive!
