Thing # 6 Online Image Generators

Digital Cameras Tools
Created with dumpr.net - fun with your photos

Playing with the image generators was really fun. The dumpr site was interesting. This is my grandson being a fish. I plan to spend much more time playing here. But I have other things to do right now.

I also experimented with the trading card program. As someone suggested it would make really different business cards. I think that will be my next project, making some new business cards for myself. I will post one of my trading cards here. I didn't know most of these places were out there. I need to think about other ways I can use them at school.

Thing # 5 More Flickr Fun

Wow the possibilities available on Flickr to create new formats,and ways to use my photos. I was impressed how easy it was to use the fd Flickr toys to manipulate my photos. One of the activities I had the most fun with was the "Hockneyizer. I have a couple of photos of our grandson's big blue eyes I want to scrapbook that way. Now that I know how to do it I just need to find the photos again on my computer.

I also enjoyed playing with the jigsaw puzzle maker. I have several photos I would like to do that with and give to the person as a gift. It would be neat to do with photos of activities at school to have for the students to use in their free time.

The pocket album feature is a really fast efficient way to make little albums as gifts for parents, grandparents, godparents, or people who don't have a lot of room to display photos.

I also tried a couple of photos in the Warholizer, but I wasn't crazy about how they looked. I was never a big fan of Warhol's art anyway.

I could using the mosaic or poster programs to create advertisements or displays of activities at school. All in all I would say this was the funnest activity so far.
