Surname Saturday- Create a Surname Subway Art Poster

While not exactly what I usually post for Surname Saturday... I thought this might be a fun change. Last night I decided to make a subway art style poster with many of the surnames I am researching. Since it seems to be the in thing right now and well just because I like the way they look.

I loved the old piknik program, but sadly it is gone. However several of the piknik folks got together and made a new site with many of the same features called, Ribbit. It is a free site.

Here is what you do: Log into the Ribbit site or use the link above.

• First you will need to go to make a collage.
• Select collage
• Next select color choice (note there is a small box to the left that you can click to change the colors) 
• Click done
• Next under Basic Edits select crop
• Crop to size choice (mine is 8x10)
• Next go to Frames, located on the top bar (that is if you want a frame)
• Select your frame or border
• You can change the color and thickness
• Select Text, located on the top bar
• Now you can play with the text and change colors
• Save and Share

Here is what mine looks like.
