New ALBUM COVER Challenge

May 13th, 2018
I feel honoured to post this Competition - It's a brilliant way to Challenge our creative imaginations !

Below are all the details, copied from the previous worthy winner (@kali66)

Please Enjoy --

"A new band", fast gaining popularity, comes to you requesting you to design the cover for its first album to be released within the week. The band doesn't have a name yet and its members ask you that when you design the album, you must also give the band its name. From what you heard of their demo CD and the feedback you've read so far, the band is on its way up. You are to be part of making music history by designing the cover for this band's first album. The band members are waiting in your sitting room - you have at least an hour to come up with a phenomenal album cover. Now, you get to work and here's how you will start:

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.

The reality of this challenge is that you actually have longer than a few hours to come up with an album cover design.

START: May 13th 2018
END: May. 31st 2018 (all time zones considered)
TAG: albumcoverchallenge93

All entries must be posted or uploaded in your album between those dates.

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, i encourage you to post your album on here, in order to keep this thread alive. That means it will show up on the discussion lists to the right of the home page. It also helps bring in more participants!

Happiness in marriage is entirely a matter of chance. If the dispositions of the parties are ever so well known to each other or ever so similar beforehand, it does not advance their felicity in the least. They always continue to grow sufficiently unlike afterwards to have their share of vexation; and it is better to know as little as possible of the defects of the person with whom you are to pass your life.

Jane Austen (1775 - 1817), Pride and Prejudice, 1811

Album: Version of the Writer
I think people want their illusions and writers are mostly illusion. When you read their words, you read a flattened, incomplete version of the writer.

"I really feel as if the things we create together are not things we devised, but things we discovered, as if, in some sense, they were always there in us, waiting to be revealed, like the figure of Mercury waiting in a rough lump of marble." -- Raymond Joseph Teller
