Week 3 cont...

I also made my own trading card, but I think I need a few more library qualifications to make it fly! It was a fun exercise; many of the fun applications I've looked at could be great for language teaching activities. For the library though, maybe the trading cards could be used to advertise reading recommendations, with the book cover in the photo and snippets in the text field...or using the mosaic making applications for displays...I don't know....

As for the photo editors, I didn't really make friends with these. I've seen some good ones in the past and will keep looking. Picknik wasn't working at the time, so I tried Splashup but didn't see the point of the features. Maybe I had the wrong photo. Oh well.

For the image generators, I went to http://bighugelabs.com/fx.php as I find this site the easiest to use, and I made a b&w charcoal version of my library reading room photo. Call me simple, but I like effects like these the best :-)
