Your going make an album cover using three random pieces of content for your design. This classroom design blitz is based on the album cover ds106 assignment.
First you will go to this site of quotations and the last four to five words of the last quote on the page will be the name of your album.
Second the name of your group will come from the name of a Wikipedia article selected at random.
And finally the image for your album cover will be the third image you find on Flickr’s interesting images from the last 7 days.
You will work in groups of two, to create your album cover. Choices the two will have to make include, trimming the image to a square aspect ratio. Other things you can do is filter, crop, contrast, colorize, decolorize, etc.
Choose fonts for the name of the band and the album title. You can visit dafont.com to find fonts.
Once you are finished, upload the image to a Flickr account and tag with ds106albumdesignblitz.
Here’s a link to the results in the Flickr RSS feed.

I love your album cover! It’s so cool. I love the quote on it because I love to laugh and it is such a good stress reliever! Hopefully your band makes it…haha
I really love this assignment and have thought about possibly doing it everyday for a whole week. It’s takes away the pressure to find new content to mashup, and allows you to just focus on the design.
