Album Cover challenge - reminder

May 3rd, 2021
Time is getting on so you need to be posting your album covers sooner rather than later. We only have two so far. Instructions below.

1. First, THE BAND or THE ARTIST: Go to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page
then 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 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). Album covers are square, so don't forget to crop it.

4. Then, use your favourite editing program to create your cover. There are many free editing programs out there -- ipiccy, ribbet, affinity, gimp, befunky, etc. 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.

START DATE - Friday, April 16th 2021
END DATE - Sunday, May 16th, 2021

Not to worry, Billy.
I find that many 365 members are procrastinators (like me) and tend to put in their entries at the last minute.
I will be putting one in ... I am learning Photoshop so am anxious to put my new knowledge to good use!

@farmreporter Excelent. :)
I really need to learn photoshop, I use lightroom all the time but have never really looked at photoshop. I have it on my laptop but it just looks like a huge learning curve. Local college don't do any classes. So not sure where to begin.

I am the opposite of you. I do use Lightroom but not to its full capability. I only use the sliders to adjust exposure and such. I also like LR's organizational method.
I am doing a free online course with PHLearn. It's great and if a computer Luddite like me can do it, I am sure you can as well!
