Create Album Art
Many people want to create album art to put on Wikipedia but there are some tricks. Here is how you do it.
Steps
- Get a photo. Google is a great source for pictures.
- Open up Microsoft Paint. This is a great place to add text, backgrounds etc.
- Click a color to use. This will be your background (see tips).
- Shade in as close as you can to the person or band with the thickest brush setting. Be careful!!!
- Use a smaller brush to get closer to the skin.
- Add text. Click the text button on the side of the screen. On your program it should look like this:
- Save it.
- Log on to wikipedia
- Type the name of the image on the article you want.
- Create and account and upload the image.
- Get it to the size you want and you're ready to go!
Tips

- Use Google to find images. It is a great source!
Warnings
- When you upload it use a copyright info somewhat like this: An image I made as an album art for this song. The source URL for the original image is:(type in URL)I own part of this image and have the copyright holder's permission to upload this image. or else they will delete it!
- Don't take credit for work that you didn't do. That is - plagiarizing!
