Thing 5 - My picture on a Bubblegum Card

Online image generators, what fun! Aside from giving overzealous family-newletter writers a new means with which to stuff our inboxes, I can see a number of useful ways to utilize this tool for work purposes. The first that comes to mind is for promoting programs on our Teen Facebook page. We've got quite a constituency of collectible trading card players at our Game Nights, and I'm about to put up the Magic: The Gathering-style photo trading card I made up to anounce November's Game Night. OIGs could also be used to spice up PowerPoint presentations for school tours, create graphics for program posters - the possibilities are endless, and it's all so much simpler (and less expensive) than Photoshop or further overwealming our Graphics man with dozens of requests. When combind with Flickr and other creative commons-found graphics, these website make a pretty powerful instrument for visually creative additions to day-to-day work activities. Me like!
