Many thanks Joanne @gardencat for hosting the last album cover challenge, and to everyone who voted for my album cover. Thank you, also, to all the other entrants – I hope you’ll put your creative caps on once again in January for the next round of this challenge.
Which leads me on to Album Cover Challenge 132. The rules for how to do the challenge are below:
1. Go to the Wikipedia website’s main page. The title of the “Featured Article” for the day is the name of your artist: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page
2. For your album title, 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 any of the three last quotes on the page is the title of your album (whichever you think would go with your band or artist).
3. Next, find or take a photo (photos) of yours that fits the album name and artist(s). The cover can be made up of one single shot or an edit with multiple layers, and so on. The processing options are limitless, but don’t forget to crop your album cover into a square format though!
4. You can use your favourite editing programme to create your cover. You can use any image of yours for the album, old or new, but you must use your own images and do all your processing for the cover during the timeframe of the challenge.
5. If editing with software isn’t your thing you could create something manually – e.g. a collage or montage including text cut from a newspaper or magazine – and take a photo of that. Just remember the square crop.
6. You can enter multiple times but only one album cover will be chosen per photographer.
In addition to tagging your image, you can post your album to this thread, too. It’s always fun to see what others are coming up with!
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 arrow below your picture.
3) Find the 'Embed Code' box and right click on it to copy it, then paste it to this thread.
Timeframe
Album Cover Challenge 132 begins Friday 31 December 2021 and ends at midnight (any time zone) Sunday 30 January 2022. Finalists will be chosen thereafter and voting will be posted then, with the winner being announced after the vote is completed.
Since participation has been low for the last couple of album challenges, it’s been suggested that, if the first selection of artist title and album title are too out there for you to work with, try one more time for another combination.
This can be a fun challenge, with lots of processing/editing options open for you and, working with a square format can be fun for a change. I hope we'll get some enthusiastic participation and I look forward to seeing all your interpretations.

album = They are extinction
artist= Histoire d'un crime (silent film )
tricky one!
The old ways are dead. And you need people around you who concur.
That means hanging out more with the creative people, the freaks, the real visionaries, than you're already doing. Thinking more about what their needs are, and responding accordingly. Avoid the dullards; avoid the folk who play it safe. They can't help you any more. Their stability model no longer offers that much stability. They are extinct, they are extinction.
