Thank you so much for voting for my album cover last week! It was really encouraging and appreciated, and a great opportunity to take part in such a creative and wacky challenge - all the entries were brilliant. Thanks for hosting it Debs. Time for Album Cover Challenge 63 - instructions below...
If you are new to 365 or to this challenge, the album cover challenge is an excellent opportunity to use those photos lurking in the archives and to edit to your heart’s content!
Here's how to get the information for your album cover:
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: albumcoverchallenge63
In addition to tagging your image, please post your album to this thread, too. It helps keep this thread active and inspires others when they see the creativity out there! 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.
3) Find the 'Embed Code' box and right click on it to copy it, then paste it to this thread.
Timeframe
Challenge 63 begins today, Thursday 21st April and ends Thursday 5th May at midnight, British summer time. Finalists will be chosen and posted on Friday 6th May, we can vote over the weekend and announce the winner on Monday 9th May.

Try to love someone who you want to hate, because they are just like you, somewhere inside, in a way you may never expect, in a way that resounds so deeply within you that you cannot believe it. - Margaret Cho,
This will be my first album cover entry, though I've seen the challenge before and been tempted.
William F. Turner, "whether there is a god or not"
I hope it's OK that it's 7 words, "there is a god or not" didn't make much sense to me.

I love these! I posted one here last night but I don't see it so wondering if I should have posted it elsewhere. I did tag it, and copied and pasted... hmmm.
Joshua Wilkinson and "And Keep Moving On". I uploaded two essentially the same photos for this - just trying out some photo editing - I'm kind of new at it. I would appreciate any feed back on the differences between the two and what works and is good and what isn't so good. Thanks
Tweets ahoy!
