Week 3, #6

I looked at several APIs and found the FD Toys' Trading Card Maker to be the most intriguing. I created a trading card using a stock photograph of a cat sleeping on a book and added my balloon containing the comment: "I love to curl up with a good book!" The application I envision is create trading cards or perhaps some form of bookmarks incorporating student photographs. For our library bookfair this year we are offering a contest where students can submit photographs they have taken of readers in interesting surroundings. Prizes will be awarded and some of the photographs will be incorporated into our publicity efforts. This application would expand the use of such photographs and I certainly will consider revisiting this site next year when there is more lead time to incorporate its use.
