my band's album cover

I've always wondered how my CD album cover would look like if ever I'm a band member or a singer... and I got an answer while reading through Chico Garcia's blog. Apparently Chico got this idea from a certain Engr. MOKS where you can follow simple instructions to come up to your own album cover design.  Here's how it works:

1. Go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page and click on “Random Article”. The first random Wikipedia article you get is the name of your band.

2. Go to http://quotationspage.com/ and click on “Random Quotes”. The last few words of the very last quote of the page is the title of your first album.

3. Go to http://www.flickr.com/explore/ and click on “Interesting photos from the last seven days”. The third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover. And in case you decide to post the final product, even if we’re just doing this for fun, don’t forget to acknowledge whoever owns the original image!

4. Use Photoshop (for me I used picnik) to put it all together.

5. And voila, you’ve got you band’s CD album cover!

Here's how mine turned out:

Album title: "A worse pain doesn't make present pain hurt any less"

It turned out pretty cool huh?! It actually looks like a real album cover... Hehehe!! :)  Pwede!!  I also got a pretty cool sounding album name! :)  According to Wikipedia, Gask Ridge is the modern name given to an early series of fortifications, built by the Romans in Scotland.  The Gask Ridge consisted of a series of forts and fortlets with signaling towers.


Go try it, it's fun :)
