I found this exercise kind of fun. I had played around with BigHugeLabs before, both for work and my personal use. For work I had played around with the Framer option. I was not familiar with the other image generators before this exercise.
I did end up trying out Image Chef because I like the word mosaic on the 23 things blog. I ended up putting in a few YA booktitles to make my own mosaic. I think this could be a fun way to promote award winners, specific genres, etc. The fun thing about image chef is you can upload your own shapes.
I had played around with word clouds before and I think they are kind of fun. I have previously made word clouds using Wordle. Here is one I made with the Best Fiction for Young Adults list including the summaries.
The interesting thing about Wordle is that it makes the more prominent or most repeated words larger than the rest. I really like both of these options. I like Image Chef because your word cloud/mosaic can be in any shape that you want but I like Wordle because it uses every word you type in.
