YE RULES

Go to this random Wikipedia link twice.

The first article's title is the band name, the second is the album name.

Design an album around this, you get to pick the genre.

Real Quick Example:

Now get to it.

    Yeah, those were the original rules I learned it by, but I couldn't quite remember them. I'll update the OP.

    NM, returned it to the original, just call this a different, more free take on the original.

    I don't. Those rules really only allow you creative room for font selection and text placement, personally I wouldn't even bother entering were that the case.

    Mmm, that's what I told her when she showed me, so she's already made them more visible once. It's better for me, but it is always hard to balance subtle with "some people's monitors can't see this."
