      Judd Albrecht has always been a creative person, from when he was young all the way up until now. Some ways he satisfies that need to be creative are animating, creating graphics, writing/playing music and playing with his kids. He went to school and graduated with a degree in 3D animation. Along with a background in animation, he developed many more skills that have made him a well-rounded digital artist. The thing he loves most about being an artist at PresenterMedia is being able to create content that will help people better express their message and help bring their presentations visually to life.

In this conversation, Judd talks about PresenterMedia’s Word Cloud Creator tool.

Geetesh: Judd, can you tell us more about your Word Cloud Creator?

Judd: Our word cloud creator is an easy-to-use online application integrated with the PresenterMedia customization design tools. If you have ever tried to create a word cloud by hand, you know just how tedious the process is. We wanted to eliminate that pain and provide a faster way to create word clouds. That’s why we developed our online word cloud application, so regardless of whether a user is a business professional, teacher, marketer, or whoever, they could easily create unique stand-out word clouds in just minutes. Also, the app being all online means no software to download and can be used on any device.

Geetesh: What objectives can users fulfill by using this feature?

Judd: This tool offers numerous options to customize the appearance of the word cloud according to the user’s preferences. Users can add many words or phrases individually or as a paragraph. Once the user adds their words, a preview gives instant feedback on their changes. We also provide the option to change the importance of certain words so the user can have their most important words stand out.

It’s easy for users to personalize the color scheme of their word clouds. They can select from pre-existing themes or create their own color choices. They will also find an option to add a color that fills the background of the desired word cloud shape, allowing viewers to see the words better.

The user can choose from various fonts, ranging from professional to whimsical, to find the best fit for their intended audience.

Of course, no word cloud is complete with selecting a shape for the text to fill. When adding a shape, the user has various options to choose from based on their desired overall appearance.

• Icon Shape Library: One option is for the user to select a shape from our icon library. Another way to create a word cloud is by using text as the shape.
• Text as Shape: This option means that the words used for the word cloud will be arranged to fit inside the text the user types in as the word cloud shape.
• Image as Shape: You can also choose to upload a photo or logo; the corresponding colors and image shape will be used to generate the word cloud.

With all these word customizing options and more, users will find many ways to create a word cloud that satisfies their needs

Geetesh: Also, how easy is it to use and customize?

Judd: We recognize that individuals have limited time to familiarize themselves with a new application. We have put in a lot of effort and conducted extensive testing to ensure that customizing a word cloud with the provided options is simple and efficient in achieving the desired outcome. Those looking to know more can view our word cloud tutorial if they need help.

Geetesh: Can created word clouds be used within PowerPoint and other programs?

Judd: After completing their word cloud, users can download it as a PNG or JPEG image. While both formats are suitable for use in PowerPoint, the PNG file will have a transparent background, making it easy to overlay on any PowerPoint background. These images can be effortlessly inserted into PowerPoint slides and serve as an effective means of highlighting important words or phrases.

By installing the PresenterMedia PowerPoint add-in, users can easily access the word cloud creator within PowerPoint. They can quickly add a Word Cloud to their presentation without having to download anything, thanks to the add-to-slide feature.

Geetesh: Can you share some thoughts and ideas?

Judd: I find word clouds to be a great way to present information in a simple and eye-catching manner. In addition to the word cloud creator, we offer a variety of pre-designed word clouds ready to add words and download.

Here is a neat idea. After releasing the PresenterMedia word cloud creator, I found a cool trick by integrating the finished word cloud into a customizable graphic, animation, or video. I’ve created an example to demonstrate what this looks like. Also, we provide a great tutorial video on how to do this in our word cloud tutorial.

At PresenterMedia, we take pride in creating customization tools that help users enhance their projects with unique graphics, animations, or videos. Our word cloud creator is just the start of what PresenterMedia offers to create extraordinary, personalized designs. The word cloud creator is free to use when signed up on the PresenterMedia free basic plan.
