Newspaper Blackout Poetry

_cokwr: Grab a marker and today's morning edition and start blacking out sections to create a new story. It could be a poem, a picture, or a novella, all drawn from the words of the latest news., _cpzh4: Visual, _cre1l: http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lefip77ymk1qafoq6o1_500.jpg, _chk2m: Tim Owens, _ciyn3: 11, _ckd7g: , _clrrx: , _cztg3:

An Album Cover

_cokwr: So here's something fun for everyone to do, should be quick and easy, but try to make it pretty. First, go here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random The title of the article is now the name of your band. Next, go here: http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3 Go to the bottom of the page. The last four to five words of the last quote are the title of your first album Lastly, go here: http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days Select the 3rd image. It is the picture for your album cover. Manipulate the picture, resize it, add some other color, whatever. Do the same with the band name and album title, put them over top. However you wanna do it. Make it look cool., _cpzh4: Visual, _cre1l: http://blog.thecrazyleghero.info/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Stallion.jpg, _chk2m: Crazylegs, _ciyn3: 44, _ckd7g: , _clrrx: , _cztg3:

Troll Quotes

_cokwr: Find an image of a well known figure, add to it a famous quote by someone related in some way to the figure in the image and then attribute the quote to a third, related figure. From the official site: How It Works 1) Get a picture of someone people idolize. Obi Wan Kenobi, Barack Obama, Captain Kirk — any beloved public figure will do. 2) Slap on a famous quotation from a similar character from a different book or movie. Pick something close enough that a non-fan might legitimately confuse them. If you’re using Captain Picard from Star Trek: The Next Generation, for example, you’ll probably want to grab a quote from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Babylon 5 or Battlestar Galactica. 3) Attribute the quotation to a third character, from yet a third universe. This way, nothing about your image is correct, and you’re trolling fans of all three characters at once. , _cpzh4: Visual, _cre1l: http://www.trollquotes.com/, _chk2m: Mikhail Gershovich, _ciyn3: 24, _ckd7g: , _clrrx: , _cztg3:

Say It Like the Peanut Butter

_cokwr: Make an animated gif from your favorite/least favorite movie capturing the essence of a key scene. Make sure the movement is minimal but essential., _cpzh4: Visual, _cre1l: 28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l2wd71vvuy1qaw14to1_400.gif, _chk2m: Tom Woodward, _ciyn3: 2, _ckd7g: , _clrrx: , _cztg3:

Seven Deadly Sins: Barbie-Style

_cokwr: Grab your old Barbies, grab your child’s, buy a new one, or go to GoodWill or something. Would prefer it if you didn't steal it. Wouldn't want to be committing one of the sins as you were setting up the photo, would you now. ;) Then, take a picture of a scene with 1 or more Barbies demonstrating one of the Seven Deadly Sins: Lust, Greed, Wrath, Sloth, Gluttony, Pride, and Envy. Do all seven or just one. Take a photo and upload it to Flickr (label it the sin), post it on your blog, and tag it as requested. Explain your process and how you got to the final scene if you choose to do so., _cpzh4: Visual, _cre1l: http://nogoodadvice.somethingkindaooooh.com/2011/03/08/seven-deadly-sins-barbie/, _chk2m: callean/Call_lean, _ciyn3: 97, _ckd7g: , _clrrx: , _cztg3:

We’ve Found Your Match

_cokwr: Take a picture of one of your closest friends and put it beside their celebrity look-a-like. , _cpzh4: Visual, _cre1l: http://www.flickr.com/photos/brobenson/5451916224/, _chk2m: BRobenson, _ciyn3: 66, _ckd7g: , _clrrx: , _cztg3:

Your very own Spubble

_cokwr: Learn to love yourself, grab a picture of yourself in which your body language, actions, gestures, etc. suggest one thing and then play off that using a speech bubble. Ideally the result would make people laugh---but I must acknowledge there are other possible emotional responses that may be just as acceptable. Think of it as lolcat, save it's a human (namely you) and there is nothing compelling anyone to abuse the letter z in the speech bubble text. Picnik.com or Aviary.com would make this assignment dead simple., _cpzh4: Visual, _cre1l: http://bavatuesdays.com/files/2011/10/Picture-14.png, _chk2m: Jim Groom, _ciyn3: 190, _ckd7g: , _clrrx: , _cztg3:
