Image Generator: Thing #6

My husband is having a hard time seeing me have so much fun with flickr and the image generator activity and comprehending that this could actually be work-related. I really enjoyed doing the trading cards on Image Generator. One limitation for me is that I'm working on this at home and don't currently have a lot of photographs on my new home computer. I did save a historical photograph of a library to incorporate into a trading card. One of my interests is in historical photograph collections. I liked Image Chef and made a Minnesota license plate, but it's a bit wordy for the road. Bunny

Thing 5: More Fun with Flickr

I looked at two sites: Big Huge Labs and Spell with Flickr. At Big Huge Labs I made a puzzle from a photograph of our library I uploaded to Flickr last week. Spell with Flickr was very cool. I had no idea how easy it was. I especially liked the ability to click on each letter to get the look I wanted. What I had trouble with was taking my words spelled with Flickr and moving them to this blog. After a couple of unsuccessful attempts I've decided to move on for now. I do plan to come back to this feature, because I could see it being very useful in other projects.

Thing 4: Exploring Flickr

I found many Minnesota library photographs on Flickr. I selected one of the Riverview Library in St. Paul , a beautiful classical Carnegie Library that retains its architectural integrity while also offering lots of modern conveniences. Every time I visit I find many people of varying ages from the neighborhood using the computers, reading newspapers, and browsing.
