Webthing of the Week: CD Cover Memes

(For all you numerology fans out there... I just realized that today is 08/08/08!)

This week's Webthing – the CD Cover Meme – is one of the coolest meta games on the net, and especially fun if you're into Photoshop or any other image editing programs.

 Flickr is a photo-sharing site (Y&F even has an account with tons of snapshots from the past year!). Within the site, you can navigate to a group called The CD Cover Meme. People from all over the world play the CD Cover Meme game and then upload their resulting creations to the group.

The point of the game is to create a unique CD cover. Here are the rules:

1. Visit a Random Article on Wikipedia by clicking here. The first article title on the page is the name of your band.
2. Visit a random quotation on QuotationsPage.com by clicking here. The last four words of the very last quote on the page is the title of your album.
3. Visit a random image on Flickr by clicking here. The third picture from the left, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.  

From there, it's up to you to combine the elements and submit the finished product to the CD Cover Meme Flickr Pool.

So take some time to browse through past CD Cover Memes – some are simple, some are complex, some are comical and some are very convincing! If you're into photo editing, try making a random CD Cover yourself! Be sure to send me a copy of it at , and I can put it up on the site!

Have a wonderful weekend!

P.S.– I've decided to post my attempt so that you can see the process step by step!

First step: Random article. By clicking on the link, I was taken to... Beta Keratin! What used to be fibrous protein rich in alpha helices is now the name of the coolest band in the world! Second step: Random quotation. When I clicked on the link, the last quotation on the page ended with the four words Not Founded On Truth, so that will be the name of Beta-Keratin's latest album!   Third step: Random photo. I clicked on the link and this was the third picture from the left. Last step: Combine all the elements into one HMV-worthy CD Cover! Pretty cool!
