Robchoc Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 A bit of Fun and practice using Affinity to make an album cover. :) Album Covers: Here are the rules: 1 - Go to Wikipedia. Hit “random” or click http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random The first random Wikipedia article you get is the name of your band. 2 - Go to Quotations Page and select "random quotations" or click http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3 The last four or five words of the very last quote on the page are the title of your album. 3 - Go to Rgbstock and click on “RANDOM” or click http://www.rgbstock.com/random The third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover. 4 - Use Affinity Designer/Photo to put it all together and share your results. I look forward to seeing your pictures. :) Unbelievably my random wiki article was actually a music page :o hence the band name "Ocean (B's song)" and my picture was a fisherman! Not so sure about the title though :) Alfred and justwilliam 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robchoc Posted May 1, 2017 Author Share Posted May 1, 2017 Looks better in a case, just not sure how to give it reflections in the plastic so that it looks more realistic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justwilliam Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 OK, I'll play, too. I wasn't that pleased with the three random selections I got but I suppose it doesn't matter. I thought I would include the CDs since not everyone can play vinyl these days. :rolleyes: Fun idea Robchoc! Alfred and Robchoc 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasper-V Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Hmm ... not quite random enough, I reckon! Not big enough, either! Robchoc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
