I really need to get a good photo thing on this computer because I feel so silly that I don't know how to get rid of that text box thing. My mom has a copy of Adobe Photoshop Elements that I might put on this computer unless there's a program others can recommend as better. So yes, here's mine though its nowhere near as good as everyone else's and then I'm off to make shortbread and afghans.

Now edited with a new and improved version and yay I figured out how to make text transparent and it was much simpler than I expected.

1 - Go to Wikipedia. Hit "random" 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 Quotations Page and select "random quotations" or click http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3
The last four or five words of the very last quote on the page is the title of your first album.

3 - Go to Flickr and click on "explore the last seven days" or click http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days
Third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.

4 - Use Photoshop or similar to put it all together:

If you used Paint (I did!), 'write' the text off of the picture- but first set the default background color to something that matches the area where you're going to move the text. (For yours, either blue or grey.) Pick your text color, type it out on top of the new default color. Then when you pick it up and move the text, use the option that only picks up what's on top, and leaves the background transparent.

When using Paint, I tend to get a 'halo' of background color around the text, even when I pick it up and move it, so using a default background color similar to where I'm going to put the text makes the halo blend in to its new background.

Ooh, that's very good to know and not something I ever knew how to do before.
