And so we start another round. First off, congratulations to Sheralee, @bella_ss Caroline, @carolineb7 and especially to Catherine Pace @gozoinklings for your great entries. Thank you, Saxa @overalvandaan for hosting the last album cover challenge. And thank you to those who participated and voted.
Now, you wonderful people of 365. Let's say you work for a promotional company. You have a great boss who rakes in the big money from those silly celebrities. Suddenly, you're hauled to a really large office, with big windows, a view of the city to the left and the ocean to the right. There's only one piece of furniture: a large table by those big windows. There's a note right in the middle, you pick it up and you realize it's from the big boss. It reads: "Do an album cover design for a big time band." Just the thing to perk up your credentials. You have two days to present your idea to the band itself and impress the big boss. You set to work. But first you need to find out the name of that band or artist and what you would call the album. Here's how:
1. THE BAND:
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. THE ALBUM:
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 is 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.
The reality of this challenge is that you actually have longer than two days to come up with an album cover design.

Ideals are like stars: you will not succeed in touching them with your hands, but like the seafaring man on the ocean desert of waters, you choose them as your guides, and following them, you reach your destiny.
