Tagul

We were working with word clouds again today. We used a site called Tagul. It is similar to Wordle, but it has a few more features. You can pick or import shapes you want your word clouds to be in. It is a little bit easier to navigate also. You should go check it out!

Wordle

Today we used word clouds. A site that we created word clouds on is Wordle. All you have to do is type in some words, and then it generates all the words in a random order. If you type in a word more than once, it gets bigger! This is a really fun tool to used. You should try it out!

I made these fun pictures on LooGix!

Animated Text

We have been going over animated text. There are many websites you can use for animated text. I have used a couple of sites like Cool Text and Glow Text. Cool Text gives you many options of fonts to pick from. All you do is click on a font, save it, and get the HTML code to post to your blog. Glow Text gives you basically the same options as Cool Text but  they glow more!

Drawing Tools

We have been going over drawing tools. Drawing tools can be used to create cool pictures and even logos! I used a couple of them like Live Brush and Flame Paint.  I created some graffiti art with Live Brush. You can create regular drawings, use different styles of brushes, use different backgrounds, and much more. Flame Paint was by far my favorite. You can create a different style of drawing. It is really easy to create swirls, twists, galaxies, and nebulas! I have posted some of my drawings below.

Styk

Stykz is a frame based animation program used to create stick figure gifs. You make the gif frame-by-frame. I made one myself! It was really easy and simple to make. The program is free to download!
