## Choosing_an_API.txt
I will use the Flickr API to convert text strings into a series of photographs of letters, similar in appearance to a ransom note.
I found an example of doing this, and I think it would be interesting to figure out how to do it myself in Jquery instead of PHP,
with a better user interface, and fixing the punctuation bugs I found when I tested it.

The user will enter a text string into a field, then click a button to submit it. A lightbox will pop up, displaying each character
(letter, numeral, or punctuation) as a photograph inside a square box. Clicking on any of the boxes will get a new, random photograph
of the same character. There will be a button labeled "X" in the upper-right corner of the lightbox; clicking this will close the
lightbox and return focus to the text input field.
