So it's time for the next album cover challenge. I have never hosted a challenge so best foot forward and all that.
I found the challenge really good fun and can be a good destration from the fear of trying to get another photo for your project.
The rules of the challenge are as follows:
1. Go to http://www.wikipedia.org/ and hit 'random article' on the left. The first random wikipedia article you get is the name of your band.
2. Go to http://www.quotationspage.com/ and hit 'random quotes' on the left. Scroll down. The last 4-6 words of the very last quote of the page is the title of your album.
3. Now go take a photo that fits with your album!
4. Use your favourite editing program to create your cover.
5. Share your image (or images, you can do as many as you like) with us by tagging it with 'albumcoverchallenge12' !
This challenge will run until midnight dec 16th (UK time) and then I'll choose some favourites from which everyone can vote for the winner. There is no limit to the number of entries you can make, just make sure to tag them as instructed above.
To share an entry in the thread, go to your uploaded image and find the area under your photo data that says "Share". Copy the code from the box and paste it in the discussion thread here.
You can use a previously shot image or one you shoot just for this competition, but you MUST use your OWN images!!
