Make your band's first album cover

[gibbons]

I saw this on another forum and the thread was pretty cool (of course there are over 13,000 active members there so it may not work here as well).



Time to make your band's first album cover.

1 - Go to wikipedia. Hit "random".

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page

The first random wikipedia article you get is the name of your band.


2 - Go to Random quotations:

http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3

Click the "new random quotations" at the bottom of the page. The last four words of the very last quote of the page is the title of your first album.


3 - Go to flickr and click on "explore the last seven days"

http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days/

Third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.


4 - Use photoshop or similar (all I have is Paint) to mix it all up. Post here.


Here's mine:

 

[CJones]

Cool beans! I wish I were creative to make it look good.. ha..

 

[EdFred]

[Everskyward]

Kinda goofy but...

So where's your cover?

So where's your cover?

I'll work on it. I just bought a copy of Photoshop Elements. This is a good excuse to learn to use it.

 

[Diana]

Can I do another one? The kitty was kinda scary.

 

[wbarnhill]

It'll have to be your reunion album

I'm too lazy to make the art work,
But I like the band and album name and photo that came up

Durham, New York

Creatures from Alpha Centuri

 

[ScottM]

That was fun. Kinda like your porn star name things.

I don't think mine would be good for a banjo band though.

Creatures from Alpha Centuri

That is a cool band name!!

 

[wbarnhill]

That is a cool band name!!

It's a shame it's the album name

 

[Diana]

It'll have to be your reunion album

OK, my band just broke up and I'm forming another one!

 

[ScottM]

It's a shame it's the album name

I know but it is still a cool band name.

 

[Frank Browne]

That was fun...

 

[mikea]

To think that the band members and their satin-jacketed handlers would spend MONTHS deciding this stuff.

 

[Missa]

I whish it was the last 5 words... it would have been "She does not wish to"

 

[gibbons]

That was fun. Kinda like your porn star name things.

"Develop a little strength"
My vote for best album name so far.

I have all 3 parts. It's more perfect than I could have made up on purpose.

 

[alaskaflyer]

Disturbing! But what a great band name!

 

[SCCutler]

Some of you get pics of hot chicks (Chip, you don't expect us to believe that picture was really random, do you?). Here's what I got.

 

[rottydaddy]

Very dadaist... fun.

 

[bkreager]

Well, I guess.

 

[flyingcheesehead]

Wow... That works amazingly well!

 

[msupples1]

Lol..

 

[SkyHog]
