*NEW* Album Cover Challenge #157

[Kathryn M]

I was thrilled of course to win the previous challenge and many thanks to Ann @olivetreeann for hosting.

This is one of my favourite challenges (appeals to the graphic artist in me) and if you have never had a go I suggest you do as it is great fun. You are designing an album cover with a made up band and title: Here's how.....

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.

THIS IS NEW: In order to entice more members to participate, you may click on the 'Random Article' 4 times until you find a more appealing or suitable name for your artist or band.

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 it.

4. You may use any editing program to create your cover (photoshop, gimp, ipiccy, ribbet, picmonkey -- 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.

5. If editing with software isn’t your thing you can create something manually – e.g. a collage or montage including texts cut from a newspaper or magazine – then take a photo of that for your cover. Just remember the SQUARE crop.

6. You may submit more than one album cover but only one album cover will be chosen per photographer.

START DATE - 23 October, 2024
END DATE - 23 November, 2024 at midnight, your time zone.

It would help this thread if you post your chosen artist and title here.

Have fun.
