Creativity:CD Cover Activity 1

THE ACTIVITY

1. Generate a name for your band by using WikiPedia's random page selector tool, and using the first article title on whichever page pops up. No matter how weird or lame that band name sounds.
2. Generate an album title by cutting and pasting the last four words of the final quote on whichever page appears when you click on the quotationspage's random quote selector tool. No matter what those four words turn out to be.
3. Finally, visit Flickr's Most Interesting page -- a random selection of some of the interesting things discovered on Flickr within the last 7 days -- and download the third picture on that page. (Even better: Click on this link to get a Flickr photo that's licensed under Creative Commons.) Again -- no cheating! You must use the photo, no matter how you feel about it.
4. Using Photoshop (or whatever method you prefer), put all of these elements together and create your very own CD cover.

My version:

Artist Name: Togendai Station

Album Title: Come Back From It

When you've completed your CD Cover, answer the following in your journal:

1. Did you crop or manipulate the image in any way? If so why?
2. Why did you choose your font?
3. Why did you lay the text out in a particular way? What effect were you trying to achieve?
4. Is your finished CD Cover a success or not? Give reasons for your answer.
