the Challenge :D

its amazing where challenges come from... but just like all challenges, they are all welcome... challenges forces you to learn and to push yourself much much further :D

i followed these instructions and had to work for one hour... you have to finish this for one hour too... try it out.. its pretty cool :D

check this out. it's kind of fun, if youre really a graphic design geek:
1. Select the name of your band. To do this, go to Wikipedia and hit “random article.” (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random) The first random Wikipedia article you get is the name of your band.

2. Select your album title. To do this, go to Random Quotations. (http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3) The last four or five words of the very last quote of the page is the title of your first album.

3. Select your cover art. To do this, go to Flickr and click on “explore the last seven days.” (http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days
) The third picture — no matter what it is — will be your cover photo.

4. Use Photoshop (or whatever) to pull it all together.

>>>this is what i ended up with :D hope its good enough :D

it's bold. i especially like the way you did the bottom part. i can't decide how i fee about the top. i really like the concept you were going for, with the opaque lettering filling the whole space. the yellow seems to be a good fit with the night lighting, ... but i kind of feel it's too bright and makes it hard to see what the picture is. the overall vibe is very classy. i want it to be a jazz album.

you seem to have a good eye for graphic design. nice work
