Your Album Cover

I'm sure I speak for majority of the people out there when I say "Wow, it would be so cool to be in a band!" Well, of course the truth of it all is that the majority of us will never be in a band...at least one that's worth anything to other people's ears.

So this past weekend, as I spent my time mostly indoors due to the cold and rain, I was browsing my Facebook and noticed a note one of my friends posted. It basically is a very creative way to see what your album cover could look like if you were in a band. It's just for fun so take a break and follow these steps:

Here are the rules AND MAKE SURE YOU FOLLOW IT, DON'T CHANGE IT BECAUSE IT MAY LOOK BETTER ANOTHER WAY:

1 - Go to Wikipedia. Hit “random... Read More”
or click http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random
The first random Wikipedia article you get is the name of your band.

2 - Go to Quotations Page and select "random quotations"
or click http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3
The last four or five words of the very last quote on the page is the title of your first album.

3 - Go to Flickr and click on “explore the last seven days”
or click http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days
Third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.

4 - Use Photoshop or similar to put it all together.

Mine came out looking a little depressing for my taste but part of the fun is the random aspect. It's pretty entertaining for a moment, and it comes out looking like a real album cover! So practice up on "Rock Band" on your game system of choice and rest assured you already have a cover for your first hit album!
