Random Record Album Cover Project



One of my friends tagged me for this random challenge on Facebook.

Here are the directions:

1 - Go to "wikipedia." Hit “random”
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 on 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.

5 - Post it to FB with this text (starting with "Here are the directions") in the caption and TAG the friends you want to join in. You can remove your tag if you don't want to do it, or don't want to have this show up in your photos.

My "band", Bodza, is a village in Slovakia. The "title" is from a quote by Nora Ephron. The photo is "Pelicans on pilings of a Saint Petersburg pier". I used a photo from the Commons on Flickr because I felt uncomfortable using someone's personal photo.

Adobe Photoshop was used to create the finished image. I also included the following statement when I posted it on Facebook just to make sure:

To avoid violating copyright laws, I hereby state that the flickr image I used in this challenge was acquired from the State Archives of Florida photostream in the The Commons http://flickr.com/commons.
