Thank you so much for voting for my album cover last week and thanks for hosting it Izzy! The record number of entries was pretty awesome - let's see if we can break that again this time? Remember...multiple entries are encouraged! Time for Album Cover Challenge 64 - 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: albumcoverchallenge64
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 64 begins today, Friday 13th May and ends Thursday 26th May at midnight, Australian Eastern Standard time. Finalists will be chosen and posted on Friday 27th May, we can vote over the weekend and announce the winner on Monday 30th May.

There are some fantastic entries for this round! I couldn't resist one more: The Sequins (and actual British indie-pop band), and a quote of "Brain: an apparatus with which we think we think"
@tabbycat Thanks tabbycat. This is intentional camera movement of some bare trees... and intentionally overexposed. Taken a while back, but have been waiting for the right moment to use it.
@tabbycat - took me forever to find the quotations page and now I can't find it at all again - let alone find this particular one. I'm afraid I didn't even pause for a second to wonder what his Sunday morning looked like!
Tweets ahoy!
