Thing #9

The first image generator I tried was the first on the list, not because it was first, but because I thought it would be fun to do a comic strip.  I didn't have a lot of luck!  The next one I tried was Custom Sign Generator.  This one was MUCH easier.  It had a really nice (and long) list of activities that you could try.  The ones I clicked on were fairly easy to figure out.  I liked the fake magazine covers, but I didn't have any photos on my PC to use on the covers.  I then tried to do the little quote bubbles next to celebrities, but all of my quotes were too long and you could only read half of the text.  Next I played around with the danger signs and licence plates, but ultimately I decided to come back to the celebrity quote bubbles.  I really liked the Albert Einstein one, so I decided to simply find a shorter quote to use.  I chose the one that I used because I thought it was a nice reminder to teachers and students that not all useful knowledge can be found in textbooks.  Life itself has a few things to teach us.  I'm not really a creative kind of person, but if this was something that you really enjoyed sitting around and playing with, you could find all kinds of uses for it.  You could make lighthearted and/or educational signs for your classroom, send e-cards to family and friends, or use it for scrap- booking. I have included the link to the sign generator as well as a link to the web page where I found a lot of cute and useful quotes.
