Thanks to Larry @lsquared for hosting the last album cover challenge, and thanks to all of you who voted for my album cover in round #117. Now on to the next round- Album Cover Challenge 118!
Here's how it works and what you need to do to enter:
1) Go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/main_Page and click 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.
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 people 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 “virtual” try!
4) You can post more than one entry with the same quote/band, or call up a different one. But only one submission per photographer can make it on to the short list for voting.
6) Please post your album cover(s) in this discussion thread. This helps keep the discussion visible. To do so, click on the three dots 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 July 21, 2020 and runs until August 17, 2020. 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.
Artist - Juan Fernández Navarrete
Juan Fernández Navarrete (1526 – 28 March 1579), or "de Navarrete", called El Mudo (The Mute), was a Spanish Mannerist painter, born at Logroño.
Album - He Will Do the More
Respect a man, he will do the more. (James Howell)
Band is Cathleen Vanderbilt. She lived from 1904-1944 when she died in Cuba after marrying her third husband. She was heir to the Vanderbilt wealth and was a 1920’s socialite. All photos of her were not available. The album name came from a quote by Will Cuppy from “Quotations on Brain”. Aristotle was famous for knowing everything. He taught that the brain exists merely to cool the blood and is not involved in the process of thinking. This is true only of certain persons.
Artist - Tribe of Benjamin
Title - Consequence is what we do
Quote - What we think, or what we know, or what we believe is, in the end, of little consequence. The only consequence is what we do.
John Ruskin (1819 - 1900)
ok, this was the second-last quote but too good !
It is forbidden to kill; therefore all murderers are punished unless they kill in large numbers and to the sound of trumpets.
Tweets ahoy!
