    Love the quote I got: "Ambition is a poor excuse for not having sense enough to be lazy". :)

    PS: For the noobs that still don't know how to download a protected image ...
    In Firefox install "ImageGrabber" as add-on ... restart FF ... in the right lower corner you'll see a small green icon ... click on it and it will download the image to your FF downloads folder (blablabla: Documents/Downloads). ;)

  7. Awesome thread! :D

    Seriously most of the covers posted here are better than the ones you see on record store shelves! How much do album cover designers get paid? It's clearly money for old rope! ;)

    Love this one - I would buy that album for the band name and title alone!

    Who the girl is on this one, she's absolutely stunning! :yumyum:

    Trichypena is a genus of moths of the Noctuidae family. Cool name.

    Awesome game, and some great album covers! :applause:

    If I may add a fourth, optional step: Tell us what genre of music you think your band or album would be. :D This one strikes me as a throwback to '90s electronica, influenced by bands like Underworld and Fluke.

    You don't need to install anything in FireFox.

    Go to "Extra", "Page-info", click on "media", there you can scroll thru the list till you found your pic. You can save it with "save button"

    It's freakish how well the photo and album title paired together. The band name was kind of a dud, though, so I decided to minimize it as much as I thought I could get away with. I really liked the black bars at the top and the bottom, too; those were part of the original image, I didn't add those. I only cropped the image to get the 1:1 aspect ratio.

    I figure this group is some kind of low-key indie rock, like Belle & Sebastian or Magnetic Fields.

    Forgot to using anti-aliasing on the lettering. The album title in particular looks like garbage. Oh well.

    There must be some shareware that's better than Win Paint. I use an old copy of Photoshop that I got from work a few years ago, so I don't have any idea what's available, but maybe somebody around here can recommend you something.

    What was the text? It seems to have worked out well, regardless.




    This band offers some lighthearted "alternative pop", like Stereolab or Cibo Matto:

    Good idea MovieHound, for this I'm picturing a solo artist. Some kinda loner, lo-fi, freak-folk music, with weird instrumentation and open tunings.

    Like Jack Rose mixed with Bert Jansch, Kurt Vile and John Fahey.
