A couple of weeks ago I joined the CD Cover Meme Group in Flickr and submitted a couple of my own creations. It’s pretty cool and funny at times – you have to create a CD cover based on the following rules:
1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random
The first article title on the page is the name of your band.
2. www.quotationspage.com/random.php3
The last four words of the very last quote is the title of your album.
3. www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days/
The third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.
Here are the two I submitted to the group originally:
Since then, both Doug and Josh have gotten in the act, and asked folks to submit their own via their comments. So I thought I’d do a couple more (feel free to try it out and link to yours in the comments):
I scored with the first band name.
FWIW…
The cognomen (plural: cognomina) was originally the third name of an Ancient Roman in the Roman naming convention. The cognomen started as a nickname, but lost that purpose when it became hereditary (and thus more like a family name). Cognomen is derived from the prefix co- (”together with”) and nomen (”name”). The term (with an Anglicized plural cognomens) has taken on a less specific meaning.
