Random Album Generator A while ago, there was a game going around on Facebook about making random album covers. The steps, volumnious as they were, went something like this:

1. Spend time going to wikipedia to find a random quote. Copy it down somewhere for later use. Don't lose it, BTW.


2. Spend more time going to some stupid random quote generator. Copy down something like 4 or 5 of the last words of the last quote. Yeah, counting and remembering. Not good.


3. Now go to YET ANOTHER web site to get a random image. Save this somewhere that you can find it later.


4. Assuming you haven't become entirely bored doing all of these steps, now you have to combine all of these elements in Photoshop. Hopefully you have this, because otherwise you'll have to use Paint or realize you wasted a lot of time on nothing. Oh yeah, and this is all assuming that you haven't lost any of the elements that you had to retrieve and save from earlier.

Too many steps! Sure, you get a lot of customization. But at what price?

I've whipped up a quick little tool that does all of these steps for you. All you have to do is grab the file that the tool spits out and upload it to Facebook.

Here are a few of my favorites:

 

So have fun, play around with the tool, and enjoy the results.  If you come across something you think is really great, post it to your Flickr account, friend me, and let me know about it!
