Thing # 9

                                         
I chose to explore the Happy Face Generator and Image Chef.  I started with the happy face generator and went to the smiley face logo.  There are so many different designs, but to get the full benefit I clicked on preview list and found logos made from buttons all the way to zebra print.  I chose the coffee beans because I love coffee and I chose this slogan because I say all the time.  After I played around with different logo types, I added my text and clicked submit.  I was able to save it to my computer and upload it here.
     The next place I explored was the image chef.  I scrolled down to the bottom and clicked on word mosaic. It took me to a blank pallet where I could then choose my background color and word outline color.  I was then able to chose a shape.  I chose the peace sign with the words peace in them.  You can choose whatever image and add different texts, along with different colors.
      I believe the smiley faces logo is a great tool for the classroom and library because you can write out different quotes and put them all around the room.  For example, as a history teacher I could use famous people's quotes, such as Martin Luther King's "I have a dream.." to celebrate Black History month.  The library could use quotes from books such as Harry Potter, to inspire more reading among students.  The image chef has so many components to it.  For example, the poster feature would be an awesome way to display student's pictures in the library who have high reading scores.
     As for personal use, there are many ways to utilize both these sites.  You can make advertisements, greeting cards and make personalized gifts.  Overall, this is a place to have fun and get creative.  Check out the links below and explore your creative side.  Peace out!
