Life on the Grid: Make your own fake album cover with Web 2.0 sites!

Make your own fake album cover with Web 2.0 sites!

Going through the steps of this is half the fun. Major hat-tip to @Chris Rowe for spreading this meme. Instructions are his (with my inclusion of the ever-sophisticated MS Paint)

1 - Go to "wikipedia." Hit “random”
or click en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random
The first random wikipedia article you get is the name of your band.

2 - Go to "Random quotations"
or click www.quotationspage.com/random.php3
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”
or click www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days
Third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.

4 - Use MS Paint, or photoshop, or similar to put it all together.

Here's mine:

I have started a new FaceBook group, soon to be it's own website named http://www.randomcddesignproject.com membership is free and it's going to be the place for the world to see all of these designs from this unique social experiment.; 5:35 PM
