Exercise the Design Demon: Pretend Album Art

Fun with randomness: For awhile there I went nuts with this game. Anyone remember this? Fun way to exercise (not exorcise) your creative design demon. DON'T CHEAT. A lot of people do, and that is missing the whole point. Just take what you get, try your best not to edit the photo, do some creative cropping & typefacing and BAM! -> A pretend album design masterpiece. Sometimes they work out so well that it's freaky. And sometimes they can be so accidentally funny. Instructions below:


1 - Go to Wikipedia and hit random. The first random Wikipedia article you get is the name of your band. 2 - Go to quotationspage.com and hit random. The last four or five words of the very last quote of the page is the title of your first album. 3 - Go to Flickr and click on “explore the last seven days”.
