I have written before in this blog about some of the fun things you can do with photographs and websites like
Flickr. (And I have had it in mind for ages to write another
EduFlickr piece on a fun
Flickr site... maybe next week.) However, thanks to
Ollie Bray I found this site which allows you to
generate newspaper clippings, like this:
You can also generate
clapper boards and
animated talking tomatoes and... well go and have a look for yourself. However, where I really lost my way was when I moved from the newspaper site to the
The Generator Blog. There are more links to software for generating fun images on this blog than you can shake a stick at!
Two of my favourites are
The Dummies Book Cover (which I found on the
Custom Sign Genrator list):

...and the
Warning Sign Generator:

Have fun with these, and let me know when, and where you use them.

Dammit, David - I wasted half an hour of sleep-time on these! ;-)
Half an hour of sleep! I've just wasted an hour of 'work' time :) Thanks for these tips David these are great!
Glad you liked the link David - I love the Dummies book generator. I'm going to use it in a school board presentation this evening! See you soon, Ollie
Chris: I too am impressed that you held it to half an hour. I was supposed to be writing a module descriptor last night but got completely sidetracked!
Paul: Glad you found them useful. I was impressed by the Vyew link from your blog. Various possible uses are already beginning to suggest themselves...
Ollie: School Boards for Dummies... or Bored of School Dummies... Thank you for getting me to the newspaper link in the first place.
Andrew: Work... work? Yes, I remember work. It's what I used to do before I got completely distracted by technology. :-)
