The Album Cover Game

Postby reallifegirl » Thu Dec 03, 2015 4:22 am

So, this was a game I truly loved back in my emo-teenage-poetry Livejournal days and I thought I'd bring it here.

Here's how to play:

1) Click Random Article on Wikipedia. The article title is now the name of your new band.

2) Go to Random Quotations. Scroll down to the last quote. The last four or five words of the last quote are your album's name.

3) Click this link for Flickr's "Explore the Last 7 Days" photo selection. The third photo is the picture for your album cover.

4) Add the band name and album name on top of your album photo in MS Paint/Photoshop/the program of your choice.

Voila! You now have your very own album cover.

The result of my choices looks like a mildly mischievous holiday album you can buy for your parents while on line for Starbucks:

I like this idea. The problem is I'm too inept/lazy to do any sort of image manipulation, so unless someone wants to do it for me, I'll just leave my results and you gotta use your imagination.

The band name is: Carhué, after some town in Argentina... I like this already.

Album title: "education gave me perspective and context" from something YA author John Green said on some youtube video.

and the cover art is a crowded street crossing in Tokyo's Shinjuku district. http://www.flickr.com/photos/shirrenlim/23422257475/

Yeah, that works. I can live with that.

Edit: Thanks a bunch to JamishT.

JamishT was a heck of a guy,
With a devilish twinkle in his eye.
With his hand-picked flowers,
And his feel-good powers,
He made all the girls blush and sigh.

So, lesson number one: You can always depend on the kindness of strangers.



Lesson number two is that even an Amish is better than me at Photoshop.

TIL how to badly use MS Word text effects...

Eh, whatever, it's close enough to a generic romantic album cover.
