I’ve just set up a page which has information about buying prints, so yes, I’d love to send you something for your office walls.

I've seen similar things like this before, most done with processing or flash with the graphics not given as much attention as the method. With all my work I try to focus on the structure and coordination of the information, and having beautiful graphics to be able to carry that info and present it in the right way. Thanks Matt.

Beautiful stuff. My boss and I recently collaborated on a book that had a number of conceptual line drawings scattered throughout. One of them was a wheel of words, not entirely unlike yours, albeit totally different in concept and printed in silver and gold on black paper. Alec, this is how I created my version. For the "word-wheel" I determined how many items and thus how many spokes I wanted in the wheel. In Illustrator, I drew a straight line with the pen tool. I then duplicated and rotated the line at even intervals along a central axis, created all the spokes. After that, I drew a circle from the center outward to the point where I wanted lines of type to begin. I then separated the circle and spoke paths using the Pathfinder. Using the type on path tool (I don't know the exact name), I placed the cursor over the beginning of each line and typeset the words. It takes some fiddling to get used to that tool (I had just upgraded to CS3), but I eventually got it to work. http://www.kuhlmannleavitt.com/project.php?project_id=101 Hello, I came across your work on visualcomplexity.com.

Then select the element you wish to rotate, and go to <strong>Object>Transform>Rotate</strong>, and type in the angle you have already worked out. Do this for all the items you wish to rotate, adding the angle together twice to rotate the second object, three times for the third, four times etc etc... Sorry I can't write a full tutorial, but if you need more help go to <a href="http://tutorialblog.org/" rel="nofollow">TutorialBlog.org</a> and see if they have anything for you.
