CD Cover Meme
Here's my CD cover.
And here are the deets on the “rules.”
quotationspage.com/random.php3 - The last four words of the very last quote is the title of your album.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random - The first article title on the page is the name of your band.
flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days - The third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.
The Concept
The band name I got stuck with was Powerlock, and their new album was entitled, "Saying You Sing It." With a name like "Powerlock," I first conjured up ideas of a thrash band. \m/ But as I was dealt my other elements, I literally changed tunes to make Powerlock the name of an electronic/instrumental band, along the lines of an RJD2 type.
The Scenario
The original pic is a beautiful shot from Malaysia, I believe. It's pretty amazing. You can see the details here from the photographer Chee Seong's flickr. To fit into the square format, I had to crop part of the image. It was pretty tough choosing between more sky or more fauna. I opted for more sky which I think works better for a more atmospheric feel.
The Look
I started with a videogame-type font for the name and gridded it out into separate pixels to achieve that quick hit of being electronic. On the other hand, I wanted something serene and flowing that was identified more with the background and its beauty, so I went with Snell Roundhand, which is a simple script - still legible and not overly swishy.
The overall essence of the band is complete with the two typefaces centered up together on the background which creates a simple interpretation of digital music creating beautiful expressions.
