Design Off … ummmm I mean, make a cd cover

This game was sent to me on Facebook by a friend I studied design with overseas. I was entertained so I thought I’d post it on my normal blog also. This game is to challenge your design skills and creativity by giving you random elements to work with to create something interesting. There is no intent here to infringe upon copyright and at this point I probably couldn’t even find the random image I got to cite it properly.

This album is either a self help type or it’s one that gets you in the *mood*. O.o

Does this seem really dirty to anyone else? The picture along with the album name just seem to suggest it in my opinion.

Better partners, better parents, and better lovers.

GAME

To Do This
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 “Random quotations”
or click http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3
The last four or five words of the very last quote of the page is the title of your first album.

3 – Go to flickr and click on “explore the last seven days”
or click http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days
Third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.

4 – Use photoshop or similar to put it all together. (for those of you non-designers, you can even use Word)

5 – Post it to the FB notes section with this text in the “caption” and TAG the friends you want to join in. (Obviously only if you are posting this in FB otherwise ignore this last one.)

The full quote is:

I believe that [everyone] is the keeper of a dream – and by tuning into one another’s secret hopes, we can become better friends, better partners, better parents, and better lovers.

Oprah Winfrey (1954 – ), O Magazine, June 2003

And evidently Järnkaminerna is a sports nickname. “The nickname derives from the 1950s when Djurgårdens IF’s football division was renowned for their physique and physical training as well as their rough style of play on the pitch.” – Wikipedia

Entertaining game.
