#10 Play Around with Image GeneratorsGenerators? No, we're not talking about those gas powered back-up things. The generators I’m talking about allow you to easily manipulate image and graphics to create fun images like these:



For this discovery exercise, we just want you to have fun. Find a few fun image or text generators to play around with and write a post in your blog about one of your favorites and display the result. Often adding the image you mocked up to your blog is as simple as copying and pasting code that the page provides. If not, you may just need to right click on the image and then save it to your hard drive before using Blogger’s image button to add it to your post.

If you’re having difficulty getting your image added to a post in your blog, ask a co-worker for help. In looking at several staff blogs, it’s easy to see that we have lots of people in the system who have figured out how easy it is to add images to their blogs.

Discovery Resources:
The Generator Blog
FD Toys
Comic Strip Generator

Also try searching for online generators, text generators or image generators!

Discovery Exercise:

  1. Play around with some image generators and find one that you like.

  2. Post the result of your discovery process in your blog. Be sure to include a link to the image generator itself, so other participants can discover it too.

  3. Post a comment to this blog to let us know you've completed thing #10. Be sure to include a link to your post.

So take some time and have fun with this exercise. And remember to be tasteful

O.K. I posted this to my blog. www.magicmgmt.com/magic/abuse-excuse. I don't get the point of image builders, but I'm sure others do.

CONQUERED! I was determined to do all I could with the assignment, so I took my time. It isn't the prettiest blog post ever (quite frankly, I had some trouble with the formatting), but it has been completed. And now, for a nap...
