Thanks to all for voting on Album Challenge 72. I know this is a highly subjective challenge, and am pleased that many voters liked my creation.
Here's how the challenge works.
To get a title for your album you can choose one of two ways.
1) Go to http://quotationspage.com or wikkiquotes or any other quotation website for a "quote of the day", or "random quotes" (go to the last one on the page). Your album title is the last 3 to 6 words of that quote.
OR
2) Choose any 3 to 6 consecutive words from the quote below to make up your album title. The quote is by Ray Bradbury, best know for his novel 451 Fahrenheit, and I selected this quote because it has a lot of potential.
"Stuff your eyes with wonder. Live as if you'd drop dead in ten seconds. see the world. It's more fantastic than any dream made or paid for in factories. Ask no guarantees, ask for no security, there never was such an animal. And if there were, it would be related to the great sloth which hangs upside down in a tree all day every day, sleeping its life away. To hell with that . Shake the tree and knock the great sloth down on his ass."
3) Next, choose your artist by going to Wikipedia and choosing the link for "Random Quote" on the top left side of the page. The first article that you get is the name of your musician or band.
http:en.wikipedia.org/wiki/main_Page
4) Now find or take a photo that fits your artist and title. You are allowed to edit to your hearts content on this challenge so go for it! You can use any photo processing program you choose, but the photo(s) must be yours. It does not have to be taken during the time frame of the challenge. This gives you a chance to look through your archives for a suitable shot.
Remember, albums are square, so crop your picture accordingly.
5) You can enter multiple entries on this challenge. Same quote, different quote - all is game.
6) Tag your album cover albumcoverchallenge73
7) You can also post your album cover in this discussion thread if you'd like. Click on the three dots under your picture and then copy and paste the embed code in the comment box below. Your picture will appear in the discussion once you click on "post comment".
8) Album Cover Challenge 73 begins today and runs through Sunday, January 1, 2017 (12 midnight, EST). I will select the finalists and post them for voting shortly thereafter. The winner will have the honor of hosting the next album cover challenge.
Artist: Foodie 2 Shoes (Wow, that even sounds like a band!)
