The Changing Spaces of Reading and Writing

Spelling with Flickr

by Natalie Giesbrecht

I love fonts so in the spirit of our RipMixFeed activity, I found this tool for spelling out words using Flickr images. You can change up the images on-the-fly until you get a ‘word image’ that you like. Here is a sample of what I came up with:

typewriter key letter D I wood type letter G letter i T44 A l31

L orange letter I letter T letter E R A C Y

This is great Natalie! I love the implicit message of digital literacy. The visual combined with reading. As Rachel and Ashley stated, simple and beautiful. Sometimes the most meaningful things are created out of simplicity.
