@tabbycat was the worthy winner of the last round of the albumcoverchallenge but she has not been here for a while, so as runner up i have been asked to take the challenge forward.
Time to put on your graphic design hat!
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 96 officially starts now and ends on September 23rd , 2018
Tag your entries albumcoverchallenge96.
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, but this challenge allows you to use older photos that suit your random choices if you wish !
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!
I think I'd like to try this. I got

1st try in this challenge so i hope some people will post some ideas here :)
Already made 1 cover just to try but i think i made it way to simple/easy..
@madeinnl sometimes simple is best and its funny how serendipitous this challenge can be, i can usually think of a photo i have taken that fits or find something that week, its an exercise in creative thinking really. You did good!
@kali66 Looks better in a frame i think, and picmonkey have a few and its easy to add :)
Hope more people will post some ideas here, my 2 covers are so lonely now :)
It's been ages since I tried a challenge. I'll give it a go. :-)
