Random Generated Album Cover

I was given a task to make three album covers that were randomly generated. This meant I had to get a random image, band name and album title. I used Flickr to get my image as I used Flickr’s last seven days and chose the third image every time. The title was generated from a few words from a random quote site as well as the title being a random search in Wikipedia. This meant the title, image and band name didn’t always go together making it difficult to do. I used Photoshop to complete this task as it has all the tools needed such as blur and effects for the image. My first album cover was the band ISG20, title fake your way through and an image of a duck. None of these matched together meaning the album cover looks unorganised and rushed.  My second attempt was Dax Norman. This cover was better than my first as the artist, title and image linked together however I wasn’t completely satisfied with the outcome which led onto my third attempt. This was Michael Avery ‘forgive but don’t forget’. This image was perfect for the cover which made it easier to create. I preferred the black and white effect to all the others as it links to connotations of the title. After doing this task, I realised that the title, band and image all need to link together in order to compliment each other within the finished product.
