Create your own Album Cover

Are you struggling to come up with a band name and album title for your upcoming tour? Well here is a little help:

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.

Below are a few designs that we came up with in the studio

Anyone for lemur cake?

The lemurs at Blackpool Zoo are inviting children to design a special cake to help them celebrate the 10th anniversary of their home, Lemur Wood.

Children are invited to research what lemurs eat, and design a special anniversary cake for them to enjoy during the anniversary celebrations on Saturday 20th June.

The lucky winner will get the chance to make up their special cake and personally feed it to the lemurs.
