Hello everyone :) I'm really rather excited to be hosting my first ever challenge here on 365. I was surprised to have been selected as the winner of the last album challenge given some of the other amazingly creative entries.
Anyhow, this is how the challenge goes :
1. Go to Wikipedia ( http://en.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 The Quotations Page ( http://www.quotationspage.com/) 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 albumcoverchallenge14
If you are after some inspiration here are the entries from the last 3 challenges :
The challenge will run till midnight, January 27th (GMT). 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 28th 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 15. Do share your entries with the rest of us by posting them on this thread but above all ENJOY !!.
Artist: Hotel Lux
Album: God and the artist
(taken from “Art is a collaboration between God and the artist, and the less the artist does the better” by Andre Gide)
Artist: Up North
Album: Nobody talks so constantly about God as those who insist that there is no God.
Heywood Broun
That's the entire quote not sure if I'll use the last six or only four words.
YIKES~ wish me luck
Just as a "heads up", the instructions aren't quite perfect. You should use the URL http://en.wikipedia.org because (for me) I otherwise get a page allowing me to select the language/country I am interested in. Even better, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random is a direct link to the random article selector.

Here's mine. @alceyone said that she thought my band sounded punk so this was what I came up with. You can probably tell that I've never really looked at any album covers for punk bands. :)
