This is the response to the inquiry made by Laroi. I would not call it open source software. It is a website where you create your word images and then giving you a bit of code to put into your website. What I did was take a screen shot of my word arrangement, put it into Photoshop and saved it as a .jpg. On Sun, Aug 14, 2011 at 10:39 PM, Laroi Lawton <laroi.lawton@bcc.cuny.edu>wrote:

Hi guys,
Attached please find a picture of a poster that I created for the Introduction to Digital Imaging class. I used Wordle for the text and Snapfish to create the poster. Due to the weirdness of Snapfish the image that you see is not the actual poster - once you order they take the image down. However, it will give you an idea of what you can do for any class that you choose. Obviously, photos and graphics lend themselves very well to this type of environment. Don't forget that, if you do decide to design a poster, if you use people for any of your pictures you will need to get their permission.
Wordle http://www.wordle.net/ Snapfish http://www5.snapfish.com/snapfish/home/
I will be glad to help you put something together and I hope that we can have a variety of posters/pictures around the School in time for the COA visit. -- chirp elt
