Album Cover Challenge 13

January 1st, 2013
Hello all :) I hope everyone had a wonderful few weeks. I thought it best to wait till the new year before opening the next Album Cover Challenge - hopefully with the holidays settling down and all the new 365ers joining the community we'll get some awesome entries this week! The challenge goes as follows:

1. Go to Wikipedia and hit "random article" on the left. The first random Wikipedia article you get is the name of your band.

2. Go to The Quotations Page and hit "random quotes" on the left. Scroll down. The last 4-6 words of the very last quote on the page is the title of your album.

3. Now go find a photo that fits your album!

4. Use your favorite editing program to create your cover. You can use any image of yours for the album, old or new, but you must use your own images.

5. Enter your album(s) in the challenge by tagging it with albumcoverchallenge13

The challenge will run till midnight, January 7th (Pacific Time). All entries must be made between now and then. There's no limit to the number of entries you can make; just be sure to tag them as instructed above.

On Jan 8th I'll choose the top entries for your voting - the entry with the most votes wins, and the winner gets to host Album Cover Challenge 14. Don't forget to share your entries with the rest of us by posting them on this thread! Best wishes and enjoy.

Hi, i understand they must be our own image but i was just wondering if it has to be a photo already used in our project? Im only on day two today so i only have one photo loaded.. Also, does it count as one of your photos a day?? Thank you for your help xx

@mrsbaldy Hello Mrs. Baldy :) Welcome to 365. You can use any photo you've taken before, even if you haven't posted it in your project, as long as the photo is yours. The rules for the photo-a-day thing are up to individual judgement, so if you feel that creating an album cover should count then by all means! Personally, I make sure to take a new pic every day, even if I don't post it on the site because I want to show an older photo of mine. Hope this helps, and best wishes with the project!

Title : Not the slightest difference
January 1st, 2013
@spirrow thank you very much... I didnt want it to count so thats why i asked.. Im keen to particpant.. Thanks again for you help x
January 2nd, 2013
Just another quick question.... If i dont want to use my cover as project pic, do i purchase an ace account and will that let me put photos in another album that wont count towards my 365 count?? Does that make sense?? Lol...

My album will be

Band: The Samurai Kills
Title: Not How We Left It
January 2nd, 2013
@mrsbaldy Yes, getting an ace account is how you can post multiple shots per day. I'm pretty sure photos in extra albums don't count toward the project.
Your album cover looks like fun! Good luck.

Artist: Grey's raid
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In September 1778, as part of British operations in the American Revolutionary War, Major General Charles Grey raided the Massachusetts communities of New Bedford, Fairhaven and Martha's Vineyard.
The raid was one of the first in a series between 1778 and 1781 executed by the British against American coastal communities.

Album: 'I'm with you kid. Let's go.'
Life loves to be taken by the lapel and told, 'I'm with you kid. Let's go.'

So I have..
Band: Cat Eye Syndrome
Title: To resist man and ultimately defeat him

Sorry the title is 7 words, but i felt the 'to' was necessary
January 3rd, 2013
@tinmaddog Y'know, Grey's Raid isn't a half-bad band name. Good luck.

@niirt Indeed :) Will you be entering?

@sarahtaylor95 No worries - maybe we can go by Scrabble rules and say two-letter words don't count? :) Best wishes.

i'm totally new to all this but thought what the heck...

my artist/band name is: Lotte Hotel
my album title... The Slippery Slope... (from lemony snicket Book X)

must brainstorm something... lol
January 3rd, 2013
I'm so lame!! I thought that Wikipedia had a "Quote Page". I just spent like 10 minutes looking for it - then I realized it's a different site all together and you've provided a LINK for me... I'm feeling really smart right now!! hahahaha

January 3rd, 2013
@petitejolie Awesome, Stephanie - have fun brainstorming :)

@shanalyn :D You and I must be kindred spirits! That definitely sounds like something I would do. Hope it doesn't dissuade you from entering, though :)

@spirrowshoot Damn, have just discovered this great little game. As I'm only on Day 3 - I haven't looked around 365 until just now!
Will you be running an Album 14 or anything similar?
January 3rd, 2013
@fireflower Awesome, sounds like a good one. Good luck.

@niirt :D

@copperheadglass :p I wonder what kind of music Island Mackerel would play.

@menope Great, Liina, glad you could join in the fun :)

@cobbmark Welcome to 365, Mark! The winner of this week's edition will be running Album 14 - I'm hosting this week because I won #12, and as long as the Mayans don't give us another apocalypse the game should continue like this :) Hope you enjoy digging through the site - there are plenty of themes and challenges going on every week.

January 4th, 2013
@mrsbaldy Hi Mrs Baldy - I can't see anything by you for the challenge. To enter the challenge you need to add the word "albumcoverchallenge13" in the tag field of your picture. If you look at the one I've just done here http://365project.org/alceyone/extras/2013-01-04 you can see the tags I've added on the right hand side. If you click on that tag you will see that there are currently (as of 17:25) 3 entries.
January 4th, 2013
I'm in. Just uploaded. Love this challenge..x
January 4th, 2013

January 4th, 2013
@mrsbaldy no problems - glad to help
January 4th, 2013
If anyone wants to share their album on this thread, there's a link on the right side of your photo, under "share" in the white box. Copy the link and paste it here, and the pic will show up when you post the reply.

@mrsbaldy Awesome, glad you were able to enter :) The first time I tried to tag my entry it took me two days before I realized I was misspelling "album" :p

@alceyone Thanks for the help, Anne :)

@welshgirl Brilliant, glad to have you!
