New York Times' buzz words visualized

These graphs, created by Jer Thorp of Ouno Design, are visualizations of design lingo used in the New York Times from 1984 to 2009.


The one above, for instance, shows frequency of use for the words "modernism" (red), "mid century modern" (orange), "eames" (yellow), and "corbusier" (magenta).



"interior design" VS "decor"
The word "decor" has dropped drastically in recent years, giving way to "interior design".



"retro vs vintage"
The word "retro" hardly existed in the 80's
