Thing 4: Communicating Visually

For Thing 4 I had to get to grips with communicating visually. This involved looking at mobile apps that focused on creating visual content. My choices were PhotoFunia, Ripl and Quik. I chose to play with PhotoFunia. This app allows you to add humour to your content. 

I like this app a lot. It was brand new to me but so easy to use. Firstly, I downloaded the app to my phone. Easy. I browsed through the multiple options of images and selected ‘popular’, to see if inspiration would hit me and as I scrolled a bit I spotted ‘open book’ (which I later discovered is also available in ‘vintage photos’).

I clicked on the tab which opened up a page and very simply explained what I had to do. I could choose an image I wanted to add from my own gallery or various other locations or take a new image. I then had to add text that would appear at the top and bottom of the image. This is so straightforward. I hit ‘OK’ and my creation appeared. I then just had to download the image to my device.

This was so straightforward and simple. Definitely an app I’ll be using in the future. Thanks Rudai 23.
