The album cover game

1 - Go to “wikipedia.” Hit “Random Article” 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 “Random quotations” or click http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3
The last four or five 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” or click http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days
Third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.

4 - Use Photoshop/MS Paint or similar to put it all together.


My album cover:

There's a lot of emo bands around here...

Good times though...I've done about three so far.

I cropped the photo because album covers are square.

Additionally, my band name has an umlaut.

These are awesome! You guys are good with the fonts and stuff. I barely knew how to change the color.

Swaziland had a brief, tumultuous history in the postpunk UK scene of the late 70s/early 80s. On the eve of mainstream success, the band imploded when they all got jobs.


(Photobucket has lots of fun new edit tools. Layers, even. I miss my photoshop, though.)

I used this...it has most of the standard features of photoshop but is completely free and you don't even have to download anything:

Well, I keep hoping to land on some Frazetta artwork on flickr, but no luck yet.

Can we make a rule that NSFW pictures are excluded? I'd hate to have to avoid this thread at work.

What's amazing me is how well a lot of the pictures match up with the titles.

This is pretty addicting.
