Did you know there are Random Album Cover groups on Facebook? I didn't. The idea is to make a picture of something completely random with a combination of nonsensical words, phrases or names overlaid on it. To make a random album cover:
1 - Go to "Wikipedia." Hit “random... Read More”My cover:
or click http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random
The first random Wikipedia article you get is the name of your band. (My word, Klęcinko, is the name of a village in northern Poland.)
2 - Go to "Random quotations"
or click http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3
The last four or five words of the very last quote of the page is the title of your first album. (I actually liked the entire quote I was given..."If you would thoroughly know anything, teach it to others", by Tryon Edwards.)
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. (After a couple of clicks, I found out that my picture was taken by Bartek Kuzia. However, I changed the aspect ratio to make mine square like an album cover, so it became a bit unproportional. The original photo is much nicer.)
4 - Use Photoshop or a similar program to put it all together. (I don't have a good graphics editing program on my computer, so I used a combination of Word and Paint to produce my cover. That led to some interesting changes in the photo's look.)
I want to try this. Too bad I do not have photoshop
