View Full Version : The Band/Album Game...
1 - Go to wikipedia and hit random (left side of page). The first random wikipedia article you get is the name of your band.
2 - Go to quotationspage.com and hit random (left side of page). The last four or five words of the very last quote of the page is the title of your first album.
3 - Go to flickr and click on “explore the last seven days” (under explore tab). Third picture no matter what it is, will be your album cover.
4 - Use photoshop or similar (picnik.com is a free online photo editor) to put it all together.
Here is mine:

How do I upload my picture from my documents chaps?
Just use something like imageshack, then paste the BB code it creates between img tags...

Cheers bud.
I remember doing this (or something very similar) years ago on here.

That picnik.com website looks pretty handy. Seems very easy to use even for someone who has very little image editing ability such as me.

Quite proud of mine :)
I think I got a nice little quote there, and the band name seems plausible.

Good thread though Rainey.

Rainey - Your album cover and album name actually look like real ones, it's a shame your band name is a bit naff :)
Sminky - Is that the latest hip hop sensation from the middle east?
It's a great game, did you come up with it Rainey or did you get the idea from somewhere else?

A mate told me to do it over Facebook so I did and thought it was quite the 'game'. So I'm going to look for more similar activities.

Right click the image, chose a size, then click the link next to where it says "Download". I did it a different way, but I was on Firefox then (on IE at the moment) and can't describe the way I did it without actually being by my PC at home.

Yeah that does work but the things is that alot of the photo's are copyright'ed so the 'download/right click-save image' options aren't available.

The image and album title work perfectly together. I may give it another go...

Hmmm, I think the photo I got for my album was copywrited. My firefox method got around it though, but I'll have to wait until I get home to find out how I did it.

1) On Firefox, right click in an empty space on the page of the pic you want to save.
2) Click "View Page Info".
3) Click on the "Media" tab.
4) From the list, find the correct photo. There is a preview box so you should be able to find it easily enough.
5) Click "Save As".
Quite impressed that I mamaged to find this out by myself after a bit a faffing about :cool:
