Yes, <strong>MS Paint</strong>, that well known digital creative tool. It rivals an <strong>etch-o-sketch</strong> in advanced technology!

Surprisingly it turns out quite well. The <strong>artist </strong>is obviously very talented and spent a long time on it.

<object width="425" height="344" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/eFV9-RuVYRU&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/eFV9-RuVYRU&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /></object>

Then i did a quick search on <strong>youtube </strong>and found a whole host of copycat videos.

These ones are no way near as good but they have a certain charm about them. If you watch them you will soon see what i mean. This is why i love youtube!

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[One of the best things about the internet is it’s ability to <strong>entertain </strong>and <strong>inspire</strong>. Today <a title="abduzeedo a really cool site" href="http://abduzeedo.com/" target="blank">abduzeedo.com</a> published a post about <a title="abduzeedo - my first band cd" href="http://abduzeedo.com/my-first-band-cd" target="blank">My First Band CD</a>. Ages ago i saw a few sites which generate random band names, <a title="Wikipedia Eiffel 65" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eiffel_65" target="blank">Eiffel 65</a> who released ‘Blue’ was commonly known to use one, but this post goes further. It gives you three links:
<div class="post_content">

<a title="Random band name" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random" target="blank">Link 1</a> returns a random wikipedia article and your new band name..

<a title="Random album title" href="http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3" target="blank">Link 2</a> returns a page, the last four words of the last quote make up your album title..

<a title="Random album image" href="http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days/" target="blank">Link 3</a> returns a flickr page, the third picture is your album art..

You then use these links to create you first band cd! As you can see from the post on <a title="abduzeedo - my first band cd" href="http://abduzeedo.com/my-first-band-cd" target="blank">abduzeedo.com</a> there have been quite a few entries!

My bands name is: Sousville which is a <a title="a small town in france" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sousville" target="blank">small town in France</a>

My album title is: misfortune or be miserable which is a quote by <a title="a quote by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi" href="http://www.quotationspage.com/quotes/Mihaly_Csikszentmihalyi/" target="blank">Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi</a>

My album art is: a picture of three ladybirds from a photographer called <a title="Cajita Dorada on flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/cajita_dorada/2551588312/" target="blank">Cajita Dorada</a>

This is what i came up with…

<img title="A picture of my first band cd" src="http://www.graphic-euphoria.co.uk/uploads/images/june_08/first_cd_graphic-euphoira.co.uk.jpg" alt="A picture of my first band cd" />

What do you think?

If you want to see how i mocked this up you can <a title="Download the psd of My First Band Cd" href="/downloads/psds/first_cd_graphic-euphoira.co.uk.zip">download the psd file here</a> (comment me back please)

Well that’s me done, i quite enjoyed this post PLUS it meant i didn’t watch <strong>Big Brother</strong> like the rest of the UK, never a bad thing!</div><script src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~s/sidonaldson?i=http://www.graphic-euphoria.co.uk/my-first-band-cd-just-a-little-bit-of-fun" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script>]]></content:encoded>
