What a surprise to find I won the Album Cover Challenge. A Special thanks to all who voted for my entry and to Vikki @summerfeld for short listing it and hosting the last challenge.
This can be a fun way to get some creativity into your photography and it is really very simple. Let's get the next segment started!
1. THE BAND: Go to the Wikipedia website’s main page. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page and choose any of the Featured Articles on the main page for your band/artist/musician.
If any of those featured articles do not appeal to you, you may try this: in the upper left of the Wikipedia logo, click on the the 3 bars and the Main Menu opens. Scroll down and click on "Random Article". The title of the article that comes up will be the name of your band/artist/musician.
2. THE ALBUM: Go to http://www.quotationspage.com and click on "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 that fits the album and artist(s). The cover can be made up of one single shot or an edit with multiple layers, and so on. There are no limits to processing options. However, please remember that ALBUM COVERS ARE SQUARE so don't forget to crop, or shoot in 1:1 aspect ratio
4. You may use any editing program to create your cover (Photoshop, Gimp, ipiccy, Ribbet, Picmonkey -- there are many other free photo editing programs out there). You can use any image for the album, old or new, but it must use your own photos/images and do all processing for the cover and upload it during the time frame of the challenge.
5. This challenge has evolved quite a bit during its course and lately a brilliant idea was introduce: 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 may submit more than one album cover but only one will be chosen per photographer.
START DATE -April 7
END DATE - April 28

title - A life un-lived ( kind of an oxymoron!)
At the worst, a house unkept cannot be so distressing as a life unlived.
Dame Rose Macaulay (1881 - 1958)
