My first data visualisation

So I have recently become interested in data visualisation and decided to start a blog about it.

For me the purpose of visualising data is to enable the viewer to comprehend the meaning of the data more easily than if the data were presented in another format, say textual or tabular.

This vizualisation of data is the first produced by me. I created it using Jonathan Feinberg's wonderful Wordle Tool. As you will soon realise I am totally contradicting what I said above about the purpose of visualising data, it is really just a pretty image to start my blog.
