Play Around with Image Generators

This site has image generators. It has different images that can be customized. You can customize an image of a cup of coffee with your name on top or a bottle of Absolute Vodka with your name on it. This site has many images but I only found a few I can actually use in a school setting. For example, this black board that I customized with the words "Back to School" on it. Once the image is customized you can save it to your desktop and use it as you'd like. This image is one that I can add to our school website.

This site also allows you to personalize images. They offer a variety of images to choose from. You can send your creation as an ecard or download the image to your computer, for free. It is easier to use and to find images than The Generator Blog site. It works the same way in that you can save the images to your desktop and use them as you'd like. I chose to advertise different school events on the images below. This is something that can be added to a school or library website.

 When you visit their site for the first time there is a welcome message that encourages you to play and have fun. They weren’t kidding. I can play on this site for hours!

The first “toy” I played with was with their motivational poster maker.

Then I made a magazine cover.

Last but not least, a movie poster.


 This is definitely my favorite of the three sites. Unlike the The Generator Blog and Letter James, this site allows you to upload and customize your own images. You can order prints through them, email your final product, or save it to your PC! There are so many activities students can do using this site. For example, above are a few creative ways for students to recommend books to each other. They can create any of these and then share their product via email, blog, or website. There are many more options on the Big Huge Labs site. I still haven’t explored them all.
