It's a Disease...and I Have Caught It

This morphing, mashing, image generating thing...

I have let myself go and I can't keep myself straight anymore!

Kid-friendly avatar, image generator Build Your Wild Self from the NY Zoos & Aquarium, I think! T-O-O - MUCH - FUN!!!!

You HAVE to go play with this one!

(Yes, I could have morphed into frogs' legs, but the tennis shoes are part of my "retirement" look of the future...and besides someone might wanna snack if I had 'em. You never hear of anyone eating frog arms!)

P.S. it allows for printing, emailing...but no "code" so I just took a screen shot, dropped it into PPT, cut away all the "junk" and saved it as a png (jpg would work too!)..and yes, I know some of you have some sort of fancy-shmancy program that will do that too! Whatever works for you!

Thing #10 Playing Around with Image Generators

I have been playing around so much with these things that I have neglected the necessary post! In looking thru all the other blogs that have gotten this far, I see so many clever ideas that can be incorporated for various things in a library or classroom. And i have palyed and played and sprinkled a few throughout the blog.


The idea that I will zero in on is signage...this previous post in my other blog will give you a better idea WHY signage is a hot button issue for me.


In so many libraries (including the ones I used to manage!), lots and lots of signs are needed to assist patrons in finding their way around and in finding just the right book or resource. All of these image generators can make solving that problem F-U-N. You can select a theme or style or color scheme to tie everything together...whatever meshes with your personality. (huuummm..is THAT a mashup of sorts?)


The sign above is from Image Chef in the Sign-Banner section. The one over on the sidebar is Image Chef's License Plate generator. Image Chef animated below, too!

I have and will use others throughout the blog...and will try to remember to tell you where they came from.

Later,
