That’s the Text I Wanna Rock ‘n’ Roll
ACDC is one of my favorite bands, at least some of his songs will remain in my mind forever. Did you know they have the second highest selling album in history “Back in Black”, behind the Thriller by Michael Jackson. And what can we say about Angus Young… you’re the best man!
For this image I took 156 ACDC lyrics from this site and counted the most used words. As usual the bigger the font is in the image the most it have been used.
The first words of the list: got (329), rock (237), come (235), get (219), gonna (213), want (169), go (155), roll (155), yeah (147), like (133), back (124), love (124), give (116), know (116), ain’t (115), man (114), way (110), make (104), said (95), baby (94), feel (94), take (92), oh (83), can (82), hot (80), night (79), ready (78), time (78), need (77), just (74), jack (72), wanna (70), high (69), one (68), around, (67), good (67), blood (66), dog (64), fire (64), shoot (64), hell (61), turn (61), balls (60), right (60), ’cause (59), live (58), play (58), shake (58), new (57), gun (56), never (56), stand (56), keep (55), look (55), well (55), eyes (54), big (53), woman (52), honey (50), blow (49), gotta (49), shot (48), tonight (46), house (45), blues (44), dirty (44), round (44), bad (42)…
The font used in the spread process is “Squealer” from the band logo. I found it in this web site.
I tried to transmit the electric rhythm of his songs by adding dynamic movement to the words. As a result the images are very abstract but I like most of my tryouts, that’s the reason why you can find more than one in this post.

TEDxt Talks
TED was founded by Richard Saul Wurman and Harry Marks in 1984 and now it’s one of the most interesting sites ever. In TED you can find hundreds of video conferences about a wide range of topics, from design to science or music. But always presenting the ideas in an innovative and engaging ways. And all talks for free viewing online, under a Creative Commons license. Wonderful place… thanks TED!.
TED means Technology Entertainment and Design, but to be sure lets count words…. I took the text of 796 TED conferences and, in this case, remove 500 most frequently used English words. To ensure having only the most representative words. Then I spread all those words over a portrait of one of the founders, Richard Saul. The size of the words is proportional to the number of times the word appears.
The first ones: around (1931), human (1830), design (1544)… nice combination! 
Next ones: sort (1481), create (1390), system (1389), percent (1377), technology (1364), another (1348), important (1348), thank (1323), today (1274), million (1215), bit (1174), understand (1171), kids (1070), computer (1053), brain (1021), nature (1014), believe (1004), experience (1001), become (981), guy (979), dollars (941), organization (935), space (910), maybe (900), away (884), everything (877), sense (859), ok (837), basically (836), stuff (836), reason (833), project (831), africa (825), universe (824), planet (796), probably (793), quite (788), hope (758), energy (754), imagine (743), information (733), data (715), pretty (712), process (705), anything (702), company (698), future (698), months (684), billion (679), case (676), happy (670), moment (641), bad (631)…
I can digg a lot of information about the evolution of these words in time, so perhaps I will come back in the future with more TED stuff.

Oh!, and Happy New Year!.
missed (233) laughs (209)
A little tribute to Leslie Nielsen. As you all probably know Leslie passed away a couple of weeks ago, after a long career in wich he crossed a variety of genres in television and films… but we all know him because he made us laugh…. sorry I mean LAUGH!.
For this visualization I took 1214 user comments from this website. About 25.500 words. I spread all those words over a portrait of Leslie with sizes proportional to it’s repetition. Nicely the first two most used words are ‘missed’ and ‘laughs’… simply true.
The beggining of the word list: rip (279), missed (233), laughs (209), thanks (209), one (166), great (137), movie (129), mr (121), shirley (120), actor (114), man (112), loved (111), call (110), rest (106), peace (104), surely (101), funny (98), time (93), just (91), good (87), sad (83), airplane (76), many (76), serious (72), like (71), made (71), family (65), always (63), naked (60), years (60), gun (58), planet (57), now (56), remember (56), watch (56), world (56), comedy (55), forbidden (54), ever (53), can (50), well (50), never (49), day (48), making (48), guy (47), nielson (45), friends (44), people (44), think (44), life (43), really (43), going (42), know (42), films (39), live (39), much (39), work (39), comedian (38), rumack (38), best (37), played (37), comedic (36), roles (36)…
Thank you very much and… goodbye Shirley!.
The Mentalist
The Mentalist is one of my favorites TV shows, probably because Patrick Jane is insanely funny but, at the same time, it looks like he has a hidden ‘dark’ side. And, of course, I love the way he break the rules.
For this image I analyzed english dialogues of the first two seasons, and here you have the most used words: jane (449), guys (368), sorry (358), lisbon (302), agent (252), murder (248), cho (201), nice (190), rigsby (189), kid (167), boss (152), john (152), van (147), cbi (141), husband (140), pelt (139), real (139), excuse (132), phone (125), truth (117), patrick (116), killer (114), stuff (111), police (110), couple (108), anyone (107), cop (107), victim (99), drugs (97), somebody (97), charge (96), arrest (95), investigation (94), hurt (92), nobody (92), hell (90), mom (89), shot (87), jim (82), lawyer (81), dad (80), whatever (80), crime (78), damn (78), suspect (77), serious (76), bosco (75)…
I know this image looks a little bit crazy, but all on this tv show looks distorted so I feel it must be the spirit of the show.

The Beatles
What can I say about The Beatles?. The most iconic band ever.
For this visualization I took the lyrics of 290 Beatles song’s and I analyzed the most used words. Do you guess wich one is the most used?… by far: LOVE.
The most used: love (701), know (464), oh (347), baby (293), go (281), well (264), say (259), come (251), get (239), can (232), want (226), now (225), got (222), see (216), like (199), yeah (186), just (184), girl (180), hey (173), tell (167), little (162), day (160), one (157), way (154), make (153), time (147), back (144), take (130), said (127), feel (125), good (125), right (125), look (121), never (121), cry (120), home (117), need (115), long (110), yeh (109), night (107), things (105), think (104), man (103), leave (99), waiting (94), please (93), mine (91), yes (89), hold (88), away (87), better (86), try (86), dance (84), heart (83), much (80), mind (76), ever (73)…
In the first image the words size are proportional to the number of times a word appears. In the next images the most used are bigger but there is no relationship between the word size and the visualization data.
Lot of songs, lot of data… I will post again about The Beatles.
The Secret of Jules Verne
He was the pioneer of science-fiction genre, one of the most translated author of all time and certainly a source of inspiration for all of us. Verne did accurate anticipations of modern times and wrote about submarines and space travel before they were invented.
You can read more about Verne in his wikipedia article.
I took more than 25 of his books and count all the words. The book list:
A Winter Amid the Ice and Other Thrilling Stories, Five Weeks in a Balloon, A Journey to the Centre of the Earth, From the Earth to the Moon, The Voyages and Adventures of Captain Hatteras, In Search of the Castaways, Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea, ll Around the Moon, The Adventures of a Special Correspondent, Around the World in 80 Days, The Mysterious Island, The Survivors of the Chancellor, Michael Strogoff, Off on a Comet, The Underground City, Celebrated Travels and Travellers, Dick Sand A Captain at Fifteen, Eight Hundred Leagues on the Amazon, Godfrey Morgan a Californian Mistery, The Waif of the Cynthia, Robur the Conqueror, Ticket No. 9672, In the Year 2889, Facing the Flag and The Master of the World.
The best part is that you can donwload all those books for free. Search for Verne in the Project Guttemberg website. There is also differente languaje versions.
Take a look at the first words of the list… Does it remind you something?

When I read the list it immediately remind me the tv show LOST. I did a quick search and found this link that talks about similarities between “Lost” and the Jules Verne novel “The Mysterious Island”, quite funny.
Here you have another versión of the same visualization, this time the words are rotated.

Words to Victory
This will be my last World Cup visualization. I took from Marca.com all the comments the readers left in each match between Spain and other countries. More than 25.000.
The first graph show the evolution of the most used words. The second one only the names of the players and, of course, the coach. The graph, in both cases, shows an average number in groups of 30 comments.
The face of ‘de Bosque’ has the most used words sized proportional to number of times the word appears.
It was funny to notice how the battle between Spain and Argentina was beyond the championship itself.

Enrique Burgos
Enrique Burgos is one of the top spanish bloggers about marketing. We share a friend, we talked about him and how interesting would be to know the evolution of the words of his posts.
So I sorted and counted the words from more than 250 post, from october 2007 to september 2010, and here you have the results.
It would be nice to receive some advices from him.
Hope you like it man!.
Words for a Kiss
It looks like the thing couldn’t get better… but it happened, live, suddenly, some tears… A KISS!
He made a mess of it.
For this image I have collected over 750 comments (in Spanish) about the kiss, made by the readers of 20minutos.es, and I counted the words most frequently used. Then I spread those words with sizes proportional to their repetition. They are all, without censorship on my part, the nice and not so nice ones.

I know what happened … it passes through his head and probably thought “now or never”. I know because it happened to all of us once in our live and still regret not having done so. He did … so thanks Iker for reminding us that we must seize the day.
For me it is a gift, a picture to remember … something simple becomes a symbol, a moment that will stay with us forever.
It remember me the famous photograph by Alfred Eisenstaedt, the sailor kissing a nurse at the end of World War II.
Iker said “it has been spontaneous”, but I would better say “it has been creative”.
In this second picture I posted two charts. The first shows 40 most used words evolution in groups of 10 comments, the second table show all the words with the number of times they appears.

Apple Sales
Apple recently announced financial results for its fiscal 2010 second quarter. As usually they grow again.
In the above image I have reconstructed the face of Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO, with the Apple products. But you know, I always want to add some kind of information… in this case the number of times a certain product appears is proportional to the sales number.
Q2 2010 sales by products: Desktop: 1.15 million units, Portables: 1.8 million units, iPod: 10.9 million units and iPhone: 8.75 million units.
Che Guevara
A Che Guevara portrait based in the photo taken in 1960 by Alberto Korda. It is probably one of the most used icons in the world with a lots of variations in differents sizes and formats… and I want to have my own version of it.
The words are the most used words of Guevara’s book “Diarios de Motocicleta”.

You probably don’t care about this… but I want to show you part of my image creation process.
At the beginning, I usually obtain the text information (like lyrics, books, or quotes) through the web, just with a web browser. Then I usually choose the seed image from Wikipedia or Google Images. The image always need a manual modification. For the text I also have my own tool, based in the snowball stemmer, that let me count words and generates an analysis file.
With the seed image and the analysis file, I let my main tool (I called it IaT) to take care of the spread process. It is always the hard part because requires a lots of tryouts till I get something usefull, and it is a highly time consuming process.
After the spread process, I have the result and then the fun start… I made a post-production image modification tool that let me change a lot of things like add random colors, invert words colors, change the word position randomly, increase size, drop shadow, etc… It is very usefull because I could give it to the final client and let choose by himself. Take a look at the tool shell.
It let me try differents options and fine tuning my images. For example with the Che image I did a lot of different versions before select the final one. Look at some of them.
Do you agree with my final decision?. By the way, if you like another one drop me a message and I will also post it. Perhaps you think that the words are not the right ones, send me your list and I will consider a remake…
See you!.
Kate Evolution
It was funny to see how people use the data of my last Lost post trying to solve whom Kate loves. I think I can help… Take a look at this new visualization focused in the Kate words. All she said from episode 1×01 to 6×11.
There are three different images. In the portrait the word size is proportional to word’s repetitions. The second one analyses the words around a determinate word, in this case the three possible winners, Jack, Sawyer and Aaron. The distance to the main word is the average distance. In the last one you can see the evolution of the 30 most used words by Kate along the show seasons.
Some considerations:
- I add “James” count to “Sawyer” in order to compare real totals.
- The size of the words around Jack, Sawyer and Aaron are proportionals to their respective numbers. That’s because I want to compare the relative importance to each one but don’t want to loose ‘resolution’ because of the ‘Jack’ big numbers.
- In the graphs, the value of each episode count are the average of episodies around it. That’s because in some episodies Kate don’t even appears.
You probably miss one word… but the only time she said ‘sex’ was when reading the Sawyer letter… in 01×08.
Enjoy it.

The words of the numbers
Encouraged by this news, I made my own analysis of the last budget’s speech by Alistair Darling.
First I recreated the face of Mr. Darling with the data suggested. As usual the size of the words is proportional to the repetition.
Later, using my own text analysis over the last eleven budget’s speeches, I made different visualizations showing distance’s relationship and the evolution of the most used, or most significative, words.
The last one is focused in the word ‘tax’. In this case the distance to the words is the average distance in the speeches. The big one represent all years from 2005 to 2010. The other two are focused in their own year.

The Words Of Jesus
Since we are in Easter I think it’s time to answer an email that Luis Barcelo sent to me a month ago. He suggested about an image only with the words that Jesus said.
Great idea!, but how to find what Jesus was recorded as saying?. Well this hard work is already done by JB Phillips as you can see in this website. He has the New Testaments books with the Jesus words in red. Easy task, isolate these words by using the select by format of any text processing application and we are done.
For the curious the beginning of the my counted words list with ALL the words: the (836), you (626), and (546), to (430), of (349), i (305), is (278), that (223), will (216), your (215), who (209), in (203), for (191), it (187), a (185), have (174), not (168), me (164), are (163), be (153), but (151), man (141), what (120), he (118), my (116), do (113), come (108), has (101), him (98), his (94), father (91), god (89), they (88), go (84), from (82), this (79), if (78), one (77), as (74), can (71), all (66), no (66), on (66), say (64), them (64), know (62), believe (61), up (61), with (60), am (58), when (56), life (53), out (51), give (50), into (50), or (50), see (50), son (49), how (47), so (47), good (46), then (46), which (46), at (45), must (45), those (45), by (43), now (43), like (42), heaven (41), there (41), men (40), own (38), hear (35), never (35), things (35), tell (34), their (34), was (34), don’t (33), let (33), shall (33), because (32), people (32), sent (32), does (30), eye (30), kingdom (28), make (28), day (27), even (27), live (27)…
From this list we will remove all the single characters words and ‘the’, ‘to’, ‘of’ and ‘and’. Sometimes I also remove ‘you’ because of the big distance between this one and the rest of words.
You can Download the full list here: thewordsofjesus.
The other problem is the base image. Which one?. Luis send me an image from the movie The Passion, and I made a couple of images using it. Take a look.

But I want to go further.
The only change to find a ‘real’ image of Jesus is the The Holy Shroud of Turin. And we have a useful reconstruction, a painting created in 1935 by an Armenian artist named Ariel Aggemian. There is a funny history that joins this image, computers and an indian spiritual master. I retouched it a little bit in order to have a sharp result as base image.
As final step let me choose a representative font. The first modern print of the Biblia was made in 1454 by Gutenberg and we have a very nice free font that mimics that print here.
We have all ingredientes!. So, here we go…

Obama Words Relationship
Obama speeches are a good testing ground. This time we are going to investigate the relationship between some of the most ‘representative words’ used in his speeches. These words are: american, can, country, hope, iraq, people, schools, war, work and world. You can find the Obama Speeches in this url http://obamaspeeches.com/
The words cloud image represents the words close to one of the ‘representative word’ (in color). Word size represents the number of times the word appears. The distance to the ‘representative word’ represents the average distance of all instances of each word.
Take a closer look.
The last image represents all the words with a proportional size and an evolution in time of the most used words. Also, there is an attempt to count only the adjetives (it is just an experiment!), because, in some way, adjetives ‘describe’ things.

Zapatero and Rajoy
Just a quick post showing another point of view of the last congressional debate in Spain.
It is a little bit hard to compare, because Zapatero speak much more than Rajoy (17935 / 4702 words).

Jack VS Locke
Animated by a suggestion of ^BadNumber^ from lostzilla.net here we go again with… Lost.
This time I have analyzed all the dialogues of the five seasons, but thanks to the scripts hosted in lostpedia.wikia.com we can know the words each character said… exactly.
So here are the results. The first image is a versus between Jack and Locke. Each face has the words correspondig to the character.
In the last image each character has his own words. The bigger the more times they used it. The distance to the character is mostly random. We choose nine of them… look at it and you will know why.
As a curiosity take a look to number of times each character talk, the number of words spoken and the average words per intervention.
jack (3254 int / 28951 words / 8.89 avg)
locke (2339 int / 22670 words / 9.69 avg)
hurley (1761 int / 17244 words / 9.79 avg)
kate (2272 int / 17327 words / 7.62 avg)
sawyer (2387 int / 24165 words / 10.12 avg)
sayid (1505 int / 14754 words/ 9.80 avg)
ben (1009 int / 13064 words / 12.4 avg)
juliet (924 int / 8661 words / 9.37 avg)
desmond (868 int / 8413 words / 9.69 avg)

Millenium Characters
Once again we will work with Millenium trilogy, the Stieg Larsson Bestsellers.
This time I covered the three books searching relationships between some of the main characters and the words around it.
Word size represents the numbre of times the word appears. The distance to the name represents the average distance of all instances of the each word.

Dennis Hopper: one (148) great (129) movie (128) man (108)
As a tribute to Dennis Lee Hopper, probably the best ‘bad guy’ in the cinema ever. After a hard battle against a prostate cancer he passed away on May 29.
Easy Rider, Apocalypse Now, Blue Velvet, Speed… the list of movies is endless.
Yes I know… there were a lot of trouble in his life but he was one of the few free spirits out there.
For this image I took about one thousand comments that people left after his death from this site and counted the most commonly used words. I find it quite interesting that the first most used words are ‘one’, ‘great’, ‘movie’, ‘man’. So I will use them as the image title.
The first most used words:
rip (183), one (148), great (129), movie (128), man (108), easy (100), like (97), actor (94), rider (91), missed (89), now (82), film (80), just (78), blue (76), loved (72), rest (72), time (70), always (67), peace (66), mr (62), many (61), thanks (61), go (58), good (58), life (57), velvet (53), favorite (50), true (50), say (49), lived (47), see (47), work (47), really (43), remember (43), role (43), die (42), apocalypse (41), think (41), know (40), years (40), well (39), can (38), never (38), best (37), get (37), come (36), scene (34), way (34), friends (33), watch (33), much (32), sad (32), ever (31), look (31), made (31), art (30), last (30), another (29), day (29), may (29), guy (28), talent (28), things (28), character (27), hollywood (27), long (27), people (27), cool (26), romance (26), two (26), bad (25), gary (25), played (25), want (25), cancer (24), even (24), fan (24), first (24), hoosiers (24), make (24), person (24), saw (24), still (24), back (23), performance (23), right (23), seems (23), ‘s (22), coleman (22), enjoyed (22), got (22), hard (22), hope (22), oh (22), show (22), wild (22), generation (21), part (21), thought (21), threes (21), also (20), moment (20), something (20), take (20), wonder (20), classic (19), family (19), gone (19), kind (19), knew (19), lot (19), star (19), week (19), world (19), brilliant (18), career (18), crazy (18), death (18), frank (18), old (18), rebel (18), seen (18), walken (18), word (18), ago (17), next (17), real (17), river (17), someone (17), today (17), turn (17), end (16), memories (16), start (16), sure (16), amazing (15), better (15), dead (15), flow (15), greatest (15), heart (15), news (15), nice (15), ride (15), sorry (15), acting (14), appearance (14), born (14), came (14), damn (14), dean (14), dude (14), entertainment (14), forget (14), giant (14), god (14), interesting (14), left (14), pabst (14), pretty (14), ribbon (14), truly (14), walk (14), without (14), yes (14), young (14), agree (13), around (13), booth (13), cause (13), conservative (13), course (13), drugs (13), every (13), happens (13), kids (13), legend (13), lost (13), mention (13), nicholson (13), story (13), trying (13), wow (13), american (12), believe (12), billy (12), christopher (12), edge (12), era (12), especially (12), find (12), linkletter (12), mean (12), original (12), post (12), said (12), side (12), speed (12), went (12), wish (12), almost (11), beautiful (11), feel (11), follow (11), free (11), gave (11), icon (11), little (11), loss (11)…
