Sept. 22/08 – Photos & Imaging
I read through the websites dedicated to mashups and image generators. I must say, my head is spinning. However, there are some very interesting concepts out there and I'm trying to imagine how these could apply to my work. In researching other image generators, I found a wiki site that links us to many, many different image generators. This site seems to be a a great resource: http://copyrightfriendly.wikispaces.com/Image+generators+and+clipart. I checked out http://www.glassgiant.com/. Lots of fun stuff here!
Working in Employment Development, we work continuously with employers and potential employees. What might be useful is a blog that would speak to employers about their rights and obligations while keeping it local and allowing them to provide feedback for their concerns. The employee candidates would be more likely to visit a blog if it had discussions around job openings, job fairs and tips regarding interviews, resumes and the like. Obviously, keeping the blog visually appealing with images will make it much more effective.
Assignment #3: Due Sept. 27/08.
1) Explore the Flickr website and learn about this popular image hosting site. Find an image you like and upload it to your blog using either the Flickr or Blogger upload tool.
2) Read Wikipedia’s definition of mashups and check out 3 Flickr mashups: Mappr; Flickr Color Pickr; Montager.
a. Note: Mashups can be a difficult concept to completely understand. For the purposes of this assignment just try to grasp the general concept of what a mashup is. You are NOT expected to know all the technicalities; remember, this is supposed to be fun!
3) Explore these 3 online image generators and see if you can find some others; Dummies Book Generator; Add Letters: Custom Image and Sign Generator; Make Believe Comix.
4) Create a blog post about how the tools you’ve learned about today could be used for your organization.
