Small World of Words

The Small World of Words project had celebrated its 10-year anniversary and wanted to create a poster about the data it collected during this time to celebrate. This research project, led by Simon de Deyne, looks at how people associate words, asking for the first words that come to mind when presented by a specific word, such as “apple”. The client prepared a script to turn their dataset into a network after which I took over to create the visual design; usage of colors, incorporating extra variables, fonts, layout, legends, etc. I created two versions; a big square poster of 70x70cm that was able to show 3,200 word labels, and a smaller poster at A3 size having 1,100 of the circles labeled with the word they represent.
