Hello and Happy New Year! It's time to play the album cover challenge :)
Here's how it works:
1. Go to 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 Quotations Page 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 square, so don't forget to crop it.
4. Then, use your favorite 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. You can enter multiple times.
6. Tag your entries: albumcoverchallenge58
In addition to tagging your image, please post 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.
Timeframe
The timeframe for Challenge 58 is two weeks beginning today, Tuesday January 5 and ending on Tuesday January 19. All entries must be between those dates.
If you have any questions or need help getting started, just post to this thread. I hope to see a lot of album covers!
They say dreams are the windows of the soul--take a peek and you can see the inner workings, the nuts and bolts. - Henry Bromel, Northern Exposure, The Big Kiss, 1991
First of all, I want to say that I love this idea! Here's my absolutely random, still very suitable task:
Artist: Kings of the Dance
Title: Sorry for the convenience
I like an escalator because an escalator can never break, it can only become stairs. There would never be an escalator temporarily out of order sign, only an escalator temporarily stairs. Sorry for the convenience. Mitch Hedberg

Album Title from William Safire quote "Is sloppiness in speech caused by ignorance or apathy? I don't know and I don't care.

Title: Sole Custody of Your Life
Quote: When you leave college, there are thousands of people out there with the same degree you have; when you get a job, there will be thousands of people doing what you want to do for a living. But you are the only person alive who has sole custody of your life. -- Anna Quindlen (1953 - ), A Short Guide to a Happy Life, 2000

Most excellent! You are going to make it very difficult to choose finalists when the time comes... which is as it should be :). Thank you for playing!
... if for nothing else than to increase the talent.
Here's hoping I play! I figured documenting it might make me do it :)
