This quickfire challenge allowed us to explore image editing tools such as Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator to create an album cover for our new band based on the activities outlined below.
1. Go to Wikipedia. Hit “random”or click here.
The first random Wikipedia article you get is the name of your band.
2. Go to Quotations Page and select “random quotations”or click here.
The last four or five words of the very last quote on the page is the title of your first album.
3 – Go to Flickr and click on “explore the last seven days”or click here.
The third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.
4. Use Photoshop or similar (Photoshop online, sumo paint, etc) to put it all together. PAY ATTENTION TO DESIGN & FORM – Image size should be 600 x 600 pixels with a resolution of 72 pixels per inch (ppi)
