I was tagged by the lovely Teresa of Senses & Style to design a random album cover. Despite being without Photoshop, I loved the idea and was intrigued to design a cover regardless. I discovered Picnik and that quickly became my best friend.
Before
Javier Vergara Lacuey
Click 'Read more' to see my album cover!
After
Band: Auditory Hallucination
Album: Start asking questions that have answers
I'm a perfectionist so this took longer than expected, but I really enjoyed how the randomness of Wikipedia, Flickr, and fragments of quotes all amalgamated to create this unique album cover.

Instructions:
1 – Go to “wikipedia.” Hit “random… Read More”
or click http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random
The first random wikipedia article you get is the name of your band.

2 – Go to “Random quotations”
or click 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.

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

Hey, fun tag and great job with the album cover!
If you're looking for free photo-editing software that's a bit more powerful than Picnik, try Gimp. I downloaded that on my netbook and it works quite well.
you better believe i'm going to do this! haha thanks for the boredom killer girl :)
Ohmigosh Nicole this is so incredibly cool! And I absolutely LOVE the picture you chose - absolutely stunning! Something tells me you need to start moonlighting as an album cover designer!! :)
