Album Art Competition


So not really a competition because every element is randomly selected. And yes, this is one of those annoying facebook thingies that clog your inbox. But mine actually turned out half-way decent. Don't think I'd ever call a band "Hound," but the picture's cool.

Ok, so here's the rules:

1 - Go to Wikipedia. Hit “random”
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 and post it!

Pretty cool, huh?

That is a cool photo, when is "Hound" going to play? I think I'll try it. And now, I can copy this shot when I'm in NYC in a few weeks.

Did you make your album cover? Also- I think this shot might be from the D.C. metro... but see if you can recreate it in NY anyway...

You could make tribute album art for my fake band!!
