Thank you to everyone who voted and participated in Album Cover Challenge 42
(and thanks for selecting my album cover... just need some music to fill it now!
Hosting a challenge doesn't seem too complicated, especially since I am trusting that someone will point out any aspect I am missing!)
Here's how the album cover challenge 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 “albumcoverchallenge43”.
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 43 begins now, Wednesday,April 8 and ends on Wednesday April 15, 2015 at midnight EST U.S.A.. 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!
Wikipedia gives me: "2012–13 Golden State Warriors season"
Quotes gives me: "Youth would be an ideal state if it came a little later in life." (Herbert Henry Asquith)
With a little poetic license, I'll come up with something!
My first dip gave me U13 and my quote was "The words 'I am...' are potent words; be careful what you hitch them to. The thing you're claiming has a way of reaching back and claiming you." from A. L. Kitselman
The Hsu-nami is my band, which is funny since it's a real Progressive Rock Band which specializes in Chinese folk sounds.
