...So I Got Carried Away...
A few days ago bovil posted a meme that I couldn't resist trying:
The rules:
1. Go to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random
The first article title on the page is the name of your band.
2. Then go to: http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3
The last four words of the very last quote is the title of your album.
3. And lastly, go to: http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days/
The third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.
Then you go and make it.
My result:
And then, I found I couldn't stop. I shared the meme on the snopes message board, and the creative people there came up with some magnificent and inspiring results. So I had to do more. And more.
I finally decided to upload all of mine to my Gallery.
It helps that the random photos from flickr are nearly all stunning; it was a challenge sometimes coming up with a way to connect them (or not) to the album title and/or group. I enjoy doing graphics work, and have few opportunities to do so, in 'real' or 'personal' life. Despite the fact that I am using a very old version of Paint Shop Pro to do the work (or in the case of one, MS Publisher and MS Paint), I think some of them came out quite nice.
But I gotta stop! I have more important things to do!
