About Snap Shot

Snap Shot is for playing around with images, or adapting old ideas into new ones. All you need to begin is an interesting image.

Step by step guide for Snap Shot
  1. Step 1
    First pick an idea to play with from the ideas box. Click the 'Image' tab to select an image, then click it to put it on the drawing board. For words, select the 'Text' tab, then click the tick. Use 'Lucky Dip' for a random image or word.
