Tagul
Tagul is a website you could use to make a word cloud. Cool things about Tagul is that you can choose your own image and the words you choose can make up that shape. You can edit the colors, the fonts, animations and appearance of your word cloud. One really neat thing about Tagul is that you can link websites to the words in your word cloud. Tagul is a great website to help you create a word cloud.

Wordle
Wordle is a website that you can use to generate a word cloud. A word cloud is basically just a list of words randomly organized and put together. You can edit the layout and color choices, you can even make some words of your choice larger then others. There are to ways you can do it: by adding the word in the text more then once, or by adding a semicolon after the word with a number you would want to make the number greater then the other numbers you have used on other words if you want that word to be the biggest. Wordle is a great cite and had endless possibilities that you could create.

Drawing Tools
I utilized 1 of the drawing programs mentioned to us in class Psykopaint. Psykopaint had many options you can change the paint brush, the size and type of effect it will produce.
You can also choose the basics, like color but one unique thing about the program is it can offer someone with no artistic ability, the opurtunity to upload a picture and add your own brush effect and color scheme to the picture. Making you look like a legit artist. The program PskoPaint is a very unique and easy program to use.

Avatar
An avatar is a cartoon version of a person or thing that could be used for various things. Many people use an avatar as there user picture due to them not wanting a picture of them selves on the internet. there are many websites one could use to create them. Today in computer essentials I used three of the many websites they have to create an avatar.
Build Yourself Wild
Build Yourself Wild offered many crazy monster like options for you to add to your avatar.
South Park Studio
South Park Studio was another website I used to create an avatar. It had many choices to choose from and would be great for south park fans.
Be Funky
Be Funky was my favorite out of the three websites I used. Be funky differed from the other two it allows your to take your own picture and edit and manipulate it many ways.
