Thank you to everyone who voted and participated in Album Cover Challenge 40 - and an extra big thank you to @kali66 for hosting the challenge. As a newbie to the site, I'm very excited and honoured to be hosting Album Cover Challenge 41. It's lots of fun and you don't have to know anything about music or design to participate - so please join in and have a go!
Here's how it works:
1. Go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia and choose the link for "random article" on the top left side of the page. The first random Wikipedia article you get is the name of your musician(s) or band.
2. Go to http://www.quotationspage.com and choose "random quotes" from the left menus. Scroll down to the end of the page. The last 4 to 6 words of the very last quote on the page are the title of your album.
3. Next, find or take a photo of yours that fits the album name and artist(s). Album covers are usually square.
4. Then, use your favourite editing program to create your cover (or, if you don't have one, Ace members have free access to picmonkey.com -- and there are many other free programs out there). You can use any image of yours for the album, old or new, but you must use your own images and do all processing for the cover during the time frame of the challenge.
5. Tag your entries “albumcoverchallenge41”.
In addition to tagging your image, consider posting your album to this thread, too. It helps keep this thread alive. That means it will show up on the discussion lists to the right of the home page. It also helps bring in more participants!
To post a photo on this thread:
1) Go to your page that has the photo you would like to post.
2) Click on the three dots just below the bottom right of your picture. Find the 'Embed Code' box and right click on it to copy it, then paste it to this thread.
Challenge 41 begins now, Tuesday, February 17, and ends on Tuesday, March 3, 2015. All entries must be between those dates. If you have any questions or need help getting started, just post to this thread. I look forward to seeing your entries and welcome new participants!

Title: As we think, so we become

As we think, so we become. - Budda
