2. In that category, use http://www.random.org/ again and set the min and max to 1-10, to determine what font to use. You'll use the pictures corresponding to the letters of your name. Upper or lower case is ok. You may download the font if you wish.
3. Next, go to http://www.searchforancestors.com/utility/dayofweek.html and enter your birthday to determine the day of the week you were born. The day of the week will determine what color you'll use for your dingbat-font name, as follows:
Sunday-Red ; Monday-Orange; Tuesday-Yellow; Wednesday-Green; Thursday-Blue; Friday-Indigo; Saturday-Violet;
Any shade within the same color family can be used for the font.
Sunday-Red ; Monday-Orange; Tuesday-Yellow; Wednesday-Green; Thursday-Blue; Friday-Indigo; Saturday-Violet;
Any shade within the same color family can be used for the font.
4. Using any medium, create a “self-portrait” using the images retrieved from the dingbats spelling out your name. The color corresponding to the day of the week you were born will be your main color theme. The portrait can be of anything, as long at those elements are included.
5. Have fun with it!
