Composition of a fake CD cover based on mashup of existing content.
Steps performed to get this result:
1. Go to wikipedia and hit random.
The first random Wikipedia article is the name of the band.
2. Go to quotationspage.com and hit random.
The last four or five words of the very last quote of the page is the title of the album.
3. Go to Flickr and search for content within the last 7 days that is licensed as Creative Commons content with permission to modify and use commercially. Grab the third image as background image for your cover.
4. Edit in a graphics editor and upload again, preferably on Flickr again so you can properly attribute the original photographer (and be sure to set the appropriate license again if it was share-alike).
The background image for this composition is titled "Don't worry. Nothing wrong with looking like a fool if what you are doing is far from foolish .P.C" by Deepa.praveen from Deepa Photography and can be found at www.flickr.com/photos/itzfromme/5277181274/
The simple composition was done by Filip H.F. "FiXato" Slagter using the free online graphics editor Picnik.
The full quote is "If you think you can win, you can win. Faith is necessary to victory." by the English essayist William Hazlitt who lived from 1778 to 1830.

Hi Mike, Wow—your website is a good photo resource! I came across your shot of a Sooty Shearwater on Creative Commons.
See: commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Sooty_Shearwater.jpg - I was wondering if I could get permission to use it. I’m putting together a video on the environment for a museum in Toronto, Canada.
The shot would be used in a mosiac of animals on screen. Cheers! Kirk, Kirk Walker, Vista Collaborative Arts Inc., 1529 East 14th Avenue, Vancouver, BC V5N 2C9, Canada; kirk [at} vista-arts d o t com, Tel: +1.604.602.0589, Mobile: +1.604.785.0121 - www.vista-arts.com
