Thing #6 Image Generators

Image Generators are used to magnify and elaborate illustrative art work from words. Students will have fun creating different illustrations for projects and assignments alike. I found two image generating tools that I like here. Wordclouds and Wordle are fairly similar sights you can utilize to create your perfect word cloud or your project. 

Wordclouds.com is a free online word cloud generator and tag cloud creator that works on your PC, tablet or smartphone! You can paste text, upload a document or open an URL to automatically  generate a word- or tag cloud. You can also customize your clouds with shapes, different themes, colors and fonts. With Wordclouds, you can also generate clickable word clouds with links to share or save online.


I made my wordcloud based on Valentine's Day with a pink, red, and purple themed heart!







Wordle.net is a toy for generating word clouds from text that you provide. The clouds give greater prominence to words that appear more frequently in the source text. You can tweak your clouds with different fonts, layouts, and color schemes. The images you create with Wordle are yours to use however you like. You can print them out, or save them to your own desktop to use as you wish.

Here is a word cloud for the United States of America.
