Greetings, loyal minions. Your Maximum Leader decided to take up Ellison on his “create your own album cover” meme thingie. This one seemed like a lot of fun. The product:
Snakebite’s new album, “Hook him to a heavy load”
Very nice.
Here is how you make the album cover (if you are so inclined and have some photo editing software):
Create Your Own Album Cover!
It’s simple, especially if you have PhotoShop or some other image-editing software. Here’s all you do:
Go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random. The title of the article is the name of your band.
Go to http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3. The last few words of the very last quote of the page is the title of your album.
Go to http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days, where the third picture - no matter what it is - will be your album cover.
Use PhotoShop (or any similar image-tinkering app) to put it all together.
Post the result on your blog.
Your Maximum Leader will admit freely that the image used in the album cover was not the first, or second one selected at random per the instructions. The first two attempts seemed to be protected and couldn’t be saved and copied. So the image you see is the third try at getting an image.
If you are inclined, try it yourself.
Carry on.
