The Font Sizes of the Planets
The Font Sizes of the Planets
Jun 24 Yesterday I was playing with Wordle and decided to create this image (click to enlarge) which shows all the main bodies of the Solar System - and then some. Each object has its font sized determined by its real-life diameter.
Nice! Very clever idea.
Sun on the back? Hmmm, guess not. Wouldn’t fit.
Very cool idea!
I want one.
I want one. (This might be a double post… oops.)
You could also try running it using the planetary masses rather than the diameters – this’ll give you one huge “Jupiter” and most of the other bodies in microscopically small letters! :)
I did put the Sun in originally but you can guess how that went! Pretty much just said ‘Sun’ with some crazy fuzz at the edges and a small font ‘Jupiter’ to one side.
I like that design and I even used it and linked to you in my post on CoS #60. I checked out the shirts and was ready to buy a hood sweatshirt… until I saw that the shirt graphic is only black. Any plans to put the color one on shirts? I don’t know what’s involved and how that affects the cost (to you and to the buyer), but it would be a lot cooler. Thanks!
Good point – will make it so shortly. Thanks for the link!
