Happy New Year! (Remember only 360 more photography days to go this year...)
I'm the understudy, standing in at Alison's request, for the bona fide winner of the Christmas Album Cover, as he has threatened to bow out of 365. This is my first time hosting an established challenge, so if it all goes pear-shaped - tough luck!
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! (Remember covers are usually square.)
4. Use your favourite editing programme 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 albumcoverchallenge20
The challenge will run from today, January 5th, until January 11th at midnight. All entries must be posted 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 January 12th 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 21. Do share your entries with the rest of us by posting them on this thread but above all ENJOY !!.
C'mon, get out there and have fun in 2014. Photography is where I get my legal high!
This is the one that I submitted for the last challenge, just to give you an idea if you're a newcomer or it's your first time...

My album title: "Affection Perish When It Is Satisfied" from "Remember, that if thou marry for beauty, thou bindest thyself all thy life for that which perchance will neither last nor please thee one year; and when thou hast it, it will be to thee of no price at all; for the desire dieth when it is attained, and the affection perisheth when it is satisfied.

Oooh I will be entering momentarily! I've done a few of these before :) I love designing covers. Now just have to find a photo that fits what I got haha.
I have never done this but it was FUN! I don't have a lot of pics yet and the words I got seemed a little Christian to me. Since I had a pic from Church last week that showed a projected star, I went with it for this challenge. Band name "The Hill People" Title of Album: To be what ONE is..."
