Album Cover Challenge 95!!

July 7th, 2018
Thanks to everyone who voted for the "Cloud" album cover in challenge #94. I had fun putting it together and wish all these digital wonders were available back in the days when I graduated from college- who knows I might have been a graphic artist and had designed hundreds of album covers by now! And that's the fun part of this challenge- you get to play at being the graphic artist a band assigns the artistic representation of their next project to! So put on your creative thinking cap and join in!

Here's how to play:

1. THE BAND:
Go to https://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 menu. 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 that fits the album 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 and upload it during the time frame of the challenge.

Album Cover Challenge 95 officially starts July 8, 2018 and ends on July 22, 2018 (midnight EST).

Tag your entries albumcoverchallenge95. You can enter as many times as you'd like, but I'll only pick one album cover per 365 photographer for the final 5.

All entries must be posted or uploaded in your album between the above dates.

If you have any questions or need help getting started, just post to this thread and I or another 365er will be happy to help you.

In addition to tagging your image, it's fun to post your album cover in the discussion thread below which helps to keep the thread alive and 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 icon with an arrow just below the bottom right of your picture. Find the 'Embed Code' box and right click on it to copy it, then paste it in your comment below.

I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with!
