Random Album Cover Assignment - TGJ 3MG and TGJ 2O1

This assignment forces you to get creative with a random band name, album title and image. You must decide, based on the name of the band you are given, what the style of music and personality of the band is. Then, based on your decision, create the album cover by choosing an appropriate typestyle and layout. The only things you can use are the image you are given, the name you are given and the title. Have fun! When you are finished, write a brief paragraph justifying your choices – see the examples in the .pdf in the drop folder.

Instructions:

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.

Third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.

4. Use Photoshop or Illustrator to put it all together.
