Adding Color to The Noun Project Icons

At the  #ISTE2015 Conference I was introduced to this AMZING noun repository site called The Noun Project.  There are tons of free icon-like clipart.  Create a free login to download.  There are three options for downloading these beauties.  First, free with the credit to the author embedded in the clipart.  Second, purchase single uses of the clipart.  Thirdly, purchase a monthly or yearly license for unlimited clipart downloads. For more details, see the pricing guide.  Below is the free example with image credit.

Another super cool trick I learned from Tony Vincent's session on images was how to recolor the images. Tony shows how to recolor them using Method Draw.  See Tony's step-by-steps here.  I wanted to try recoloring with PicMonkey.  

How cool is this?  Do you know how many times images are used in education?  From teacher presentations, student presentations, digital storytelling, comic strips, book reports, to claymation, and the list goes on and on.  

Steps for Recoloring in PicMonkey:

1.  Choose Design in PicMonkey, select square

2.  Select Overlay on the left (butterfly icon)

3.  Select Choose Your Own at the top

4.  Open clipart from The Noun Project

5.  Recolor with image editing dialogue box

6.  Change translucency if desired.

7.  Add text with the text tool

8. Save, import into another project.
