Words tags or word cloud or work cluster or tag cloud are very novel and awesome visual tools to put forward your point in a very direct and compelling way! Word clouds can add a wow factor immediately to your PowerPoint slide. Word clouds help grab the attention of our audience in a snap, they also help your audience connect with the main point in no time.

Just in case if you are wondering what is word cloud here is a simple definition:

All the words in a word cloud are related to a central idea and are in various fonts of various colors with the main word (central idea) being in the center of the cloud and it’s of the largest font.


Below is an example of “Innovation Word Cloud”. The word innovation is in the center surrounded by related words in various fonts and colors. Generally smaller the font of a word, weaker the relation of that word with the central idea.
