Inaugural Fun: Make Your Own Obama Icon

The good folks at Paste Magazine are definitely in on the spirit of inaugural fever with this gadget:

…which they describe succinctly:

 Make your own “Obamicon” — your image in a style inspired by Shepard Fairey’s iconic poster.

[...]

Take your picture with a webcam or upload a photo, choose your own message, and submit to the gallery. 

It requires Flash Player 10, which took me about 20 seconds to download and install, and there is a quicky email registration. 

Then it’s pure fun. Upload a photo or use a webcam to take your pic. Mac iSight users: right click the frame, click “Settings”, and choose “USB Video Class Video” (sic).

Then choose your tagline. Think: as Obama is to “Hope”, you are to “________”.

I thought this really captured my spirit. I tried one in drag for “Change”, but it didn’t quite work out…

Have fun!
