Now you can create your own sign generator! Just find (take your own with
a digital camera, maybe a DVD still image grab, search graphics sites, take
a pic from TV, etc) an image of a sign or a photo where there is a clearable
area to place text. Use GIMP (best freeware photo editor) to clear out the text
area (if there is text already in the way) and then import it to this site
to manipulate the text with hundreds of fonts, also make sure the image size
does not exceed 650 pixels (height or width). You can even use a photograph
of yourself (use free
hosting so you have a web URL to use) or loved ones and add comic book styled bubbles (sample) where you can
change the text characters to suit your needs (captionize your photographs),
you can literally turn any image or clipart into a sign generator!
Sign generator image
sample: Step 1 Take a picture of yourself holding a blank piece of cardboard (box bottom, poster board, large piece of paper, etc) in a position where you are showing the sign to the camera (most digital cameras have an automated timer to snap pics). You can also go on the internet and find pictures of various signs, but you usually have to edit the pictures (photochop) to remove previous text messages (this can be a tedious task). Step 2 Upload your photo to ImageShack.us (resize it to 320x240 if it is a photo larger than 500 pixels wide or high or it may not show up on your blog well). Once uploaded you are given a URL address (near bottom you will see a text area labeled "Direct link to image", copy and paste the full URL starting with "http://" and ending with ".jpg"), this is the URL that you need to use in our "Your Photo URL" submit form (below). Step 3 Enter your URL in the form above and hit submit. Now you can carry on with the instructions on your new image generator. Give your link (URL) to others so they can change the message on your custom sign generator! NEW Now you can upload a photograph (you will get to make custom graphics but you will not get a link to give your "sign generator widget" to others, you can only download your creation): You can visit www.CustomSignGenerator.com for our full collection of image generators or look below for 100 everyday graphic samples (live example sign generators you can easily change the text yourself, these samples are all preconfigured with all text coordinates already laid out for you to demonstrate what you could do too with your own images) created with this Sign Generator Maker:
Browse through all uploaded image templates There are almost 500 images already uploaded where you can adjust the text alignment on pre edited (to remove text from original photo) pictures/clipart, good way to get an idea of what type of pictures you should look for (good practice too). |
