Clipr

by Eszter Hargittai on January 17, 2006

Gone are the days when you had to clip letters from different newspapers and magazines to get a mix of fonts. This nifty tool lets you write out words with letter images from Flickr. (I assume the images have to be tagged with a letter to be part of the pool from which the program draws photos.) If you don’t like a particular letter design, you can click on just that one to get a different image.

Crooked Timber from Flickr letters

For more Flickr goodness, you can keep track of the time using Clockr.

Nice to see that writers of ransom notes are no longer left out of the digital revolution!

Eszter,

I don’t know what’s so special about an empty, red-bordered box. Which is what I see in Firefox.

Or perhaps I need use IE, which shows the letters?

I just tried it in Firefox and it worked fine. What fun.

It’s a great little tool. I discovered it ages ago and used it to produce a header for my blog. Then I lost the link! Thanks for reintroducing me to it, now I can change the letters, at last!
(And it works in all modern browsers)
