The design mockup was very straightforward:

The coding prototype was a fun challenge. However, I paused in the middle of building this out because I started to question the effectiveness of the visualization. What would viewers learn from highlighting some keywords? Should I provide the filtered keywords? Should I allow users to search their own keywords? If it was beneficial to add photos to this project, how would it fit?

<aside> ⭐ I needed to take a step back and started researching other methods of textual analysis. I came across Jason Davies' famous Word Tree, which inspired me to consider doing the same. I was worried about the amount of coding I needed to learn in a short period of time until I found AnyChart, a set of JavaScript libraries that creates data visualizations more quickly.
