I have been playing with everyone’s newest image/graphics tool Canva. Here is graphic I have been working on today. Love its minimalist iconography. You can click on it and edit it as well if you wish. Unexpected to find a proprietary tool like this as being remix friendly, but it is.

Loving the design elements here and I did remix yours, although I could not tell if I changed your original or just a copy. Do you know? (I think I changed your original).
This reminds me of Glogster, but a lot cleaner design and interface (and ignoring the $1 cost for some upgraded images, etc). Wondering about this for my students …
Thanks, Dude.

Thanks for checking it out. I have a good feeling about this one. I like how you can add pages to the original. Might be handy for using it in the classroom. BTW, it did change the original, but I copied your remix and added back the links I included in the original. I have copied it back for Amy Clancy so that she can see that you can do plenty for free. She wrote that she couldn’t publish a pdf without paying a fee. I found that was not so for this image we are sharing.
I think it might be fun to start off with a whole class looking at a relatively ‘calm’ image like this one and then allowing each student to change one aspect (color, text, background,links) and reflect on what that does to the image. Or allow each student to create his or her own version of image for a particular purpose and then put up a gallery of them on a blog and reflecting.
I have used the Twitter header template to create a new image for my account. I plan on having my blog intern use this on a regular basis to print out color pdfs for marketing the blog in our department. I like this tool because it seems to be living in the practical, making part of my brain. I thought it would be cool to do a set of #clmooc mottos/memes just like I have created images to invite folks to #clmooc.
