Well, like everyone else I had to try it. Go to SimpsonizeMe.com to upload a photo of yourself and “Simpsonize” it into a character like you would see in the Simpsons cartoon show. The website is pretty fun with entertaining animations as you work on it. They will step you through the process in a fun, non-technical way.
They show your photo as a flash animation which is a headache (read: impossible for most) to convert to .jpg or .gif. If you just want a .jpg format that you can post on the web or MySpace (like I did here) – then use your “Print Screen” key and crop the sc Ieenshot down in your favorite image editing program. If you don’t have PhotoShop you can download PhotoPlus for free from download.com to perform all your image editing, optimization and formatting of images.
Many of the backgrounds you can add to the photo have the Burger King logos. It was a good move by Burger King to NOT include their logo on the main solo pic. That does a lot for public goodwill and keeps the whole Simpsonize experience fun and fairly non-commercial.
Hey, it worked. I kind of feel like going to Burger King now…..
