Thanks to Lesley for hosting the last album cover challenge and to all who voted for my album cover.
It's time to get Album Cover Challenge 110 up and running - 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. MUSICIAN OR BAND
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. ALBUM TITLE
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: albumcoverchallenge110
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.
Challenge 110 begins today, Tueday 8 October and ends Sunday 3rd November at midnight, GMT.

Band: Esquimalt-Metchosin (an electoral district in British Columbia, Canada)
Album: Don't Pick Your Nose
Quote: "Do what you love, love what you do, leave the world a better place and don't pick your nose."
Jeff Mallett
Band Artist is Jack Smith Cricketer. The random Wikipedia page was Jack Smith (cricketer), for a former English Cricket Player. I decided to drop the parentheses and make it one longer name. Because "Jack Smith" was rather boring.
Album title is "Very Easy To Say Yes" from a quote by Tony Blair: "The art of leadership is saying no, not yes. It is very easy to say yes."
Tweets ahoy!
