Default Make Your Own Album Cover

Let's see some ideas. Follow these steps if you think you can make something at least kindof cool.

Random Wikipedia Entry
The title of the article is the name of your band.

Random Quotes
The last four words of the very last quote on the page is your album title (IMPORTANT: Refresh the page when you get there, I can't get this link to generate a random combination, so if you don't refresh, then everyone will have the same title)

Random Flickr Photos
The third picture from the top left is the album art, no matter what it is.

Now, combine the three elements to create an album cover in photoshop or something, and then post it here. The idea is to operate (kindof) like a design firm, where you have to work with names and titles that the band comes up with rather than something you create yourself. You might even get a cool name for your band out of it hahaha

Here's what my first attempt rendered (I cracked photoshop this morning )

I actually have GIMP. I used it a long time ago to make GIFs, but I don't care much for the GUI, and I must admit I tend to forget about it.

True, the GUI could use some work...
But the latest version (2.5) has improved a bit over the older versions.

yea but I don't think that many people are willing to pay $600 for photoshop so a free, but lesser, alternative would work just fine.

And honestly, unless you need it for commercial/professional use, the Gimp has all the functions you'll ever need and then some.
And if you do need more functions, there's a good deal of plugins which expand it's usability.

Photoshop Elements is actually a great program that has almost all of the functionality of PShop, but for $79. I got a copy for my pops and was amazed at how many Pshop features were retained.

Even if I am a student, I still like the (virtual) five-finger discount.

And more album making! It's really fun to see what you come up with.
