How to add text to images and more..

For some basic information about how to get started with Pixlr, check out the clip of How to Use Pixlr tutorial.

There's no escaping it- we're a visual generation. Forget quotes like, 'Don't judge a book by its cover'. Today, headlines, blogs, anything with text requires an image or it's unlikely to be read.

So images, and working with them, is likely to be a big part of your life and work with kids ministry. You probably source, format and use images for your kidmin Facebook page, your Pinterest boards, your newsletters, your announcement slides and more.

Previously, I've used Powerpoint or Publisher for most of this type of work but no longer. I've discovered pixlr.com.  What a great little site! This is the graphic I worked on for our church Vision Dinner. If you haven't tried it, then I'd encourage you to check it out here..

On the first page of pixlr.com, choose the Express option. It give you plenty of tools to work with but it's not too difficult to use.
