View Full Version : Design your album cover before you record your music
Try this:
instructions:
1 - Go to 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: http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3
The last four words of the very last quote of the page is the title of your album.
3 - Go to flickr's "explore the last seven days" http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days/
Third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.
Use these random elements only to make the album cover.
Here's mine:

What program are you using to create your covers? MS Paint?

16 Feb 2008, 09:05pm
Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended
You can do most of what I did in paint though, photoshop just makes it easier/quicker. The hardest thing to do in paint would be the faded line.
