Playing with Image Generators

I had perhaps a little too much fun last week playing with image generators. I made all sorts of silly pictures. It was fun, but I am not sure if there are really many practical applications for say, creating your own Vegas-style wedding chapel or road sign.



I did enjoy the Word Clouds a lot. Once again, I don't know if they serve a "purpose," but they are quite pleasant and colorful to look at which is right up my alley really.

This cloud is the lyrics to Lay Down Your Weary Tune by Bob Dylan

This cloud is the lyrics to Ripple by the Grateful Dead.

I also made my own coat of arms.  It was cool.  I printed it out and hung it on 
my fridge, but evidentially didn't save a copy to add here.  Maybe I'll scan it 
and add it later on.

All and all a great playful learning week, which was an area I thought I already 
excelled at.  Turns out, I was right.

Here is a list of the sites I'm talking about, if you want to go tinker on 
your own:
