Creating images with text

Below is a selection of on-line applications that allow you to create simple but effective images and shapes from text.  Explore with them using a theme that you feel might help with your project.  It is wonderful to explore the written word and even more amazing to discover how creative you can be by simply developing the concept of simple visual communication.  We see text all around us from bill board posters to graffiti in the street, from signs and instructions to warning and encouragement in our workplace.  Explore the power or words and text just for fun and see how creative you can be.  I used the theme of gaming for my selection.
