Thank you all for voting for my entry in the last round of the album cover challenge, and well done to the other finalists who all created some amazing album covers. Many thanks to Andreas, @primitiveprobe for hosting and all who took part and voted
This thread is to announce the 104th edition of this entertaining challenge. for those new to 365 who may not know how it works, here are the details:
1) Go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/main_Page and clink on the link for "Random Article" on the top left side of the page. The first random article you get is the name of your musician(s) or band.
2) Next go to the http://www.quotationspage.com and click on "Random Quotes" from the left menu. Go down to the bottom of the page. The last 4 to 6 words of the very last quote is the title of your album.
Please remember that you should use at least the last 4 words of the quote.
3) Then find, or take, a photo that fits your artist and album title. You are allowed to edit to your heart's content on this challenge so go for it! You can use any photo processing program of your choice, but the photo(s) must be yours. It does not have to be taken during the time frame of the challenge. This gives you a chance to look through your archives for a suitable shot.
Remember, albums and CDs are square, so use a square crop!
** BONUS – Some folks like to have a little fun and add a short description of what style/genre of music their band or artist would play in their commentary under the picture. So if you’ve ever dreamed of being a graphic artist or a promotional agent- give it a “virtural” try!
4) You can post more than one entry with the same quote/band, or call up a different one and post that too.
6) Please post your album cover(s) in this discussion thread. This helps keep the discussion visible. To do so, click on the bent arrow in a square on the bottom right of your post and then copy and paste the embed code on to the comment box below. Your picture will appear in the discussion once you click on "post comment".
7) The challenge starts today, 30 April 2019, and runs until midnight GMT Wednesday 22 May 2019. I will select the finalists and post them for voting shortly thereafter. The winner will have the distinct honor of hosting the next album cover challenge.
Quote: We all carry around so much pain in our hearts. Love and pain and beauty. They all seem to go together like one little tidy confusing package. It's a messy business, life. It's hard to figure--full of surprises. Some good. Some bad. - Henry Bromel, Northern Exposure, The Big Kiss, 1991
We'll see if I come through with an album cover. Here's what I drew:
Artist: South Tyrolean dialect
Album: don't want to do them
I used to dread getting older because I thought I would not be able to do all the things I wanted to do, but now that I am older I find that I don't want to do them.
Nancy Astor (1879 - 1964), interview, 1959
