This is a really interesting little creative exercise that I thought I'd share with everyone. The idea is that you create an album cover, with the album title and the name of the band. However, everything that makes up your album cover is randomly generated. I did it and was very happy with the outcome. Here's my album:
There are four steps that you must take in order to make your classic album cover:
1 - Go to wikipedia and select “random article” or click http://en.wikipedia.org/wi
The first random wikipedia article you get is the name of your band.
2 - Go to "Random quotations" or click http://www.quotationspage.
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/expl
The third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.
4 - Use photoshop or similar to put it all together. (if you don't have it, here's an online photo editor: pixlr.com/)
I hope you enjoy this as much as I did! Post it up somewhere so I can have a look.
