Just over a year ago a friend sent me a note on Facebook called “What would your first album cover look like?” In the note was a list of instructions telling you to go to three web sites to get a random title, random text and a random image. Once you had these you were to put them all together and make an imaginary album cover.  It was pretty fun so I have decided to do it again and get other people to submit their finished images too.

I am going to do this once a month with different subjects but for April I will stick to the Album Cover.  Below are the instructions and links you need to use to get the stuff you need.

Here are the rules:

1 – Go to Wikipedia. Hit “random”
or click http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random
The first random Wikipedia article you get is the name of your band.

2 – Go to Quotations Page and select “random quotations”
or click http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3
The last four or five words of the very last quote on the page is the title of your first album.

3 – Go to Flickr and click on “explore the last seven days”
or click http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days
Third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.

4 – Use Photoshop or similar to put it all together.

5- Upload your image to Flickr, Facebook, or wherever you want to store your image then post a link in the comments of this post.

Here is my Album cover for this months challenge.
