Thank to everyone who voted for my entry for Album Cover Challenge #22, I'm so tickled to have won. This was my entry:
For those of you who need a refresher or have never played, this is how the challenge goes:
1. Go to Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page) and hit "random article" on the left. The first random Wikipedia article you get is the name of your musician(s) or 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 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 “albumcoverchallenge23”
The challenge will run from Monday, February 17 until Monday, Feb 24 at midnight, EST. 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 February 25th I'll choose the top five entries for your voting - the entry with the most votes wins, and the winner gets to host Album Cover Challenge 24.
You can share your entries with the rest of us by posting them on this thread, but don't forget to tag then as well!
