Headlines with pictograms

Posted on January 2nd, 2009 in Art, Data Visualization, Pictogram set | No Comments »

“The idea would be that a simple application would pull headlines from the BBC News website, or any website, and seperate the headline into individual words. It would then check a database to see if there is a pictogram associated with that word and display it. This would loop for all words until the headline is complete. If there is no pictogram for the word available, then it will just display the word and update an online list that symbols for word ‘X’ are needed.”  Designing the News
