Flickr: CD Cover Meme
I came across this interesting project the other day and just had to share it. The basic premise is to take three random things, two text snippets and one image and create a fake CD cover. It’s a great exercise in creative typography and there are some examples that wouldn’t look out of place in your local record store. You can check out the Flickr group here. And here’s a basic run down of the rules:
1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random
The first article title on the page is the name of your band.
2. www.quotationspage.com/random.php3
The last four words of the very last quote is the title of your album.
3. www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days/
The third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.
4. ???
5. Profit
Be careful though, it’s pretty addictive and once you start it’s difficult to stop. Also if you wish please leave a link to your work in the comments of this post.
