Thing 6: Image Generator


It is my job to create graphics and logos for projects. Although I think these tools are fun, I'm not sure that they are worthy of professional use.
You get almost no creative license with the online generators and if everyone used these nothing would be original. From a marketing/advertising perspective, it is much more importatnt to create original work from scratch.
I'm not saying I am against trading cards or the other stuff. As a matter of fact I created trading cards for our library's mascot a few years ago. They have been well recieved by all. I just think that people are bombarded by a great deal of information these days and your message better be original and creative or it isn't getting through.
