THING #10 - Image Generators

I was having some fun with creating comics. This can really be helpful in a library for advertisements on events, to grab students attention on various things or events you have in the library. Could also be used to encourage reluctant readers to pick up a historical graphic novel and read it. May not give full accouont of events, but can highlight the main points and the students can begin to learn something about a topic. May be just information that they will want to learn a little more.

Make your own free clipart like this @ www.TXT2PIC.com with free web based tools (hundreds of image generators that run through a web broswer, no software to buy or install).

I also played around with the sign generators. Basically this could be used for many of the same things. The drawback is that I noticed you had to pay to get things sent to you. the cool thing is that you could create magnets or postcards. This could be helpful in passing out information, giving as prizes for contests, etc.

The picture below I created using the sign generator with a frame around it. It is of Baxter, by former best friend. RIP buddy!

The sign generators allow you to download the images for free just like the comic maker.
