DIY ALBUM COVERS

Heath

INSTRUCTIONS:
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 "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.

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. (It's album art, so make the picture square)

Band: De Meern
Album: To do good is my religion

This was actually quite fun. I'm a bit busy at work, so I could not put more effort into the album cover...

The whole quote was "The world is my country, all mankind are my brethren, and to do good is my religion." by Thomas Paine. I kinda like that.

This is so easy it's not even funny ?

The real question is: what kind of music will be on the album?
I bet this band make mediocre trash metal but will get famous for the one ballad on the album, after which it is named.

Lethe

Lol, this is funny! more more!

Played a little with the picture, contrast, cropping and saturation.
Quote is the last three and not the last five, to keep it coherent.

Noticed how the 'Band name' corresponds with the pictures so far? Almost all of them.

De Meern - sounds like a wine
Zyablowskiy - umm... ja. (miss)
Cohert Effort - struggling through mud
No ordinary morning - rain drops
Industrial Decay - old building
Salthill - a beach
Bennhausen - umm... ja (miss)

ps. Nice cover Lon - throw some [img] tags around it...

One more quick one during my lunch...

The band and album name seems almost metal/hard rock, but the cover seems a bit soft and squishy, like some kind of soft rock, while the writing on the foot speaks for itself. Can only point to an Emo band... ?

[deleted]

Zyablowskiy sounds distinctly East European, and I think the cover looks like thier traditional folk music for the modern person. The title suits it aswell. Old scars and all that stuff. It is surprising how well they all came out. Kinda like fridge poetry, I'm going to try it. I love "no ordinary morning". It implies the morning is so great you can't think of anything else!

Is anyone planning on actualy using theirs?

Band: Soldier, ask not
Album: If one morning

De Meern - sounds like a wine - actually it's a little village near Utrecht, the Netherlands and they have no vineyards there
No ordinary morning - rain drops - in some seasons/places around the globe rain drops in the morning are quite ordinary

Cohert Effort - struggling through mud
Industrial Decay - old building
Salthill - a beach
I suppose these were a matter of not exactly sticking to the recipe? Mine was, admittedly ?
