Ka taea e koe te taapiri i nga whakaahua ki nga kapua kupu?

The short answer is: it depends on what you mean by "word cloud with images."

While there isn't currently a tool that creates word clouds where individual words are replaced by images (this would be technically challenging and likely wouldn't follow standard word cloud frequency rules), there are three highly effective ways to combine images with word clouds:

• Image prompt word clouds – Use images to stimulate audience responses that populate a live word cloud
• Word art word clouds – Create word clouds that take the shape of a specific image
• Background image word clouds – Overlay word clouds onto relevant background images

Each method serves different purposes and offers unique benefits for engagement, visualisation, and presentation design. Let's dive into each approach in detail.

Method 1: Image prompt word clouds

Image prompt word clouds use visual stimuli to encourage participants to submit words or phrases in real-time. This method combines the power of visual thinking with collaborative word cloud generation, making it ideal for interactive sessions, workshops, and educational activities.

How to create word clouds with image prompts

Creating an image prompt word cloud is straightforward with interactive presentation tools like Nga Kiriata. Anei me pehea:

Step 1: Choose your image

• Select an image that aligns with your discussion topic or learning objective
• Consider using GIFs for animated prompts (many platforms support these)
• Ensure the image is clear and relevant to your audience

Step 2: Craft your question
Anga to tere carefully to elicit the type of responses you want. Effective questions include:

• "What comes to mind when you see this image?"
• "How does this image make you feel? Use one to three words."
• "Describe this image in a single word."
• "What words would you use to summarise this visual?"

Step 3: Set up your word cloud slide

• Create a new word cloud slide in your presentation tool
• Upload your chosen image or select from the platform's image library

Step 4: Launch and collect responses

• Words appear in real-time, with more frequent responses appearing larger
• Participants access the slide via their devices
• They view the image and submit their responses

Method 2: Word art and image-shaped word clouds

Word art word clouds (also known as image-shaped word clouds or custom shape word clouds) arrange text to form a specific shape or silhouette. Unlike traditional word clouds that display in circular or rectangular layouts, these create visually striking representations where words fill the contours of an image.

These types of word clouds certainly look great, but they're not so clear when it comes to determining the popularity of the words within them. In this example, the word 'motorbike' appears as wildly different font sizes, so it's impossible to know how many times it was submitted.

• Choose from themed background libraries
• Adjust base colours to match your image
