I really enjoy doing this challenge and was thrilled to win number 153. Many thanks to Anne @Olivetreeann for hosting it.
1. THE BAND: Go to the Wikipedia website’s main page. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page and choose any of the Featured Articles on the main page for your band/artist/musician.
If any of those featured articles do not appeal to you, you may try this: in the upper left of the Wikipedia logo, click on the the 3 bars and the Main Menu opens. Scroll down and click on "Random Article". The title of the article that comes up will be the name of your band/artist/musician.
2. THE ALBUM: Go to http://www.quotationspage.com and click on "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 or photos that fits the album and artist(s). The cover can be made up of one single shot or an edit with multiple layers, and so on. There are no limits to processing options. However, please remember that ALBUM COVERS ARE SQUARE so don't forget to crop, or shoot in 1:1 aspect ratio
4. You may use any editing program you like to create your cover (Photoshop, Gimp, ipiccy, Ribbet, Picmonkey -- there are many other free photo editing programs out there). You can use any image for the album, old or new, but it must be your own photo or images and all the processing most be done and uploaded during the time frame of the challenge.
5. This challenge has evolved quite a bit during its course and lately some folks have introduced creating their album cover manually (such as making a collage or montage which includes text from a newspaper instead of using a processing program) and taking a photo of their creation. If you choose to create your album cover this way, just remember the SQUARE crop.
6. You may submit more than one album cover but only one will be chosen per photographer.
