Remix Assignment - DS106

This assignment was to remix files to create an album cover. Try this one, it’s great fun! It gets the creative juices flowing.

The assignment said to use files that already were created by others in the class, but I couldn't find them. So I followed the directions for the initial project then added the remix of "adding a sidekick" - I chose William Shatner.

I used 2 photos from the random selection - one was the third photo over, and one was third photo down.

Original Assignment 
So here's something fun for everyone to do, should be quick and easy, but try to make it pretty.

First, go here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random
The title of the article is now the name of your band.

Next, go here: http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3
Go to the bottom of the page. The last four to five words of the last quote are the title of your first album

Lastly, go here: http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days
Select the 3rd image. It is the picture for your album cover.

Manipulate the picture, resize it, add some other color, whatever.  Do the same with the band name and album title, put them over top. However you wanna do it. Make it look cool.

I will try to figure out how to post this on the DS106 page - maybe I will figure it out, maybe not :-)

My friend Matt LOVED this project and created an album cover just for the fun of it.
