This is a fun one. I have entered several album covers since joining 365 and, as luck would have it, my last entry rose to the top of the charts. That gives me the honour of hosting this next round. Rather than reinvent the wheel I will just copy and paste the instructions.
Let's suppose that some up and coming musicians found out they can come to 365 to find the best album cover designers, and they want to see samples of your work. Come on, let's show them!
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). '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.
4. Use your favourite editing program to create your cover. There are many free editing programs out there -- ipiccy, ribbet, affinity, gimp, befunky, etc.
Album covers are square so remember to crop it to 1:1 aspect ratio.
START DATE - June 16, 2021 (back dated to the end of the last one)
END DATE - July 20th 2021 (I am away in July but returning home on the 20th,
hence the extra days for the challenge)

@cdcook48 Hello! I noticed that the challenge ended a couple of days ago and I can't find the voting thread. In case you set it up already, that's fine, ignore this message. In case you didn't and you are not able to do it, just let me know and we'll sort it out. Thank you so very much!
