"Things were different in my day"

I found a beautiful piece of type and information design on the net today and here it is....

This is taken from a flash graphic ( found here ) basically the piece takes all the speeches made by US presidents and makes a collection of the most used words, the one's that feature the most are the largest and the one's that have been said most recently are brighter.


I really loved the way that this graphic allowed for a real sense of what is happening in each time period, the key words change from, freedom and constitution (back in the 1700's) to terrorists and iraq currently.


Well worth a look.
