Creative Juices

I've been dying to write on here, but just haven't felt like doing a lot of research and I hate to post without knowing what I am talking about...so I bring you this instead.

Feeling a bit creative? Via two friends, Peter and Erin, I found out about a little exercise in imagination where you make the CD cover for a made up band. The instructions/rules are as follows:

1. First, go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random. The first article on the page will be your band name.
2. Then go to http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3. The last four words of the last quote on the page will be the name of your album.
3. Finally, go to http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days/?, where the third picture will be your album cover.

My first batch of pictures to choose from were...less than inspiring. So I'll admit to refreshing the page. The band name and album title were 100% by the book.

Introducing Broomball with their debut album, A Very Serious Thing.



Have fun...and leave a link in the comments to your album.

PS: if you don't have a program that can edit pictures, take a look at Gimp and their tutorials page.

I just found out that Dylan, a friend from BYU, has made a page that will automatically generate your album art. So for those who want to play along but don't know how to use Photoshop, here's some help: http://www.thurstonco.com/BandName.html
