Title: The "Create Your Album Cover" Game
Post by: Katsuro on July 23, 2012, 05:48:12 pm

It's a 4 step game and involves using image edting software as well as too much time on your hands:

1) Go to Wikipedia and click "random article" - that's your band's name.

2) Go to Wikiquote and click "random page" then pick a quote at random from that page - the last 3-5 words are your album       title.

3) Go to flickr's "last 7 days" page (you might have to google search to find it) - the 5th pic is your album art.

4) Combine the results in photoshop, or whatever image editor you have, and post for all to see.

Here's one I prepared earlier. I don't know why but this genuinley made me laugh.

You know I could image "lips of the child jesus" being a real album. Not so sure about the band name though lol.

Did another one. I fucked up the placement of the band name without realising before saving over the original. Doesn't really matter I guess:

Haha, that fantastic. I do find the band name and the photo go together strangley well, even though neither Paris nor London are coastal cities.

I don't know why but that just seems to...work. Looks like something from an underground hard core punk act from the 80's, especially with the "thermal nuclear" reference.

LMAO. The band name and album name seem to go together, but with that photo I literally lol'd.

One more from me before bed. The band name weirdly enough is the name of a real album. And I think the album name matches the pic:

It does make me think of a callout to Road to Wigan Pier, so there's that I guess.

Made three more, I think I'm slightly addicted.  BTW, I swear I did not cheat for the 1st two album names, those really are the combinations I got:

OK, here we go.  Picture was hard as fuck to put text on legibly, since I don't know how to put outlines around text in GIMP.

This one made me laugh out loud. I wonder if this is how graphic designers get their ideas for their work or what they do when they're bored. Also where'd you get your fonts at.

Title: Re: The "Create Your Album Cover" Game
Post by: The Right Honourable Mlle Antéchrist on July 25, 2012, 12:36:47 am

I can't remember where each one specifically came from, but I do know that I got quite a few from http://www.dafont.com/

If you want to get your fonts to look smoother, make sure anti-aliasing is turned on. It makes a huge difference to the overall image. :)

By "dark" do you mean "awesome and hilarious"?

And hey, don't blame me, blame the digital gods of random Wikiquote page selection.
