The album cover meme continues

I had to try making another album cover, because my first one really was pretty weak for a professional graphic designer.


Okay, this one ain't too special, either. I think it's pretty believable, though. Still doesn't look like an album I could ever imagine myself buying, though.

Anyway, thanks to micaela ivette for the photo. (God damn, I think I just posted a 16-year-old's midriff on my blog. I don't know if I'm comfortable with that, but dammit, I take what the random Flickr photo page gives me.)

The album cover meme

People seem to be doing this all over LiveJournal, but I couldn't really tell you where it started. I first heard about it from John Harper.

The deal (if you haven't already heard) is that you use random, Internet-provided elements to create a fake album cover. Specifically:

  1. The name of a random Wikipedia article is the name of the band.

  2. The last four words of the last quote on a page of random quotes is the name of the album.

  3. The third image on Flickr's "interesting photos from the last 7 days" page is the cover photo.

Now Photoshop the fuck out of that mess until it's believable.

Here's what I ended up with:


There is no way in hell that I wouldn't hate this band's music. This is fun meme, though, and I just might do it again.

Much thanks to denkedran for this photo. I think I got lucky, there.
