For our yearbook this year, I was thinking of dropping kids' faces into reasonably well-known album covers.
1) No Photoshop--Microsoft Paint or Gimp only (and my computer skills are average).2) Covers where it'd be easy to...I was thinking something like Patti Smith's Horses would be easy: white background, just drop the face in.
I need 17 album-cover ideas (small class), and I've got two weeks to get it ready. Any suggestions?

Just be careful which of your students you call a horse.

Mechanical Animals, absolutely...Grade 3/4 class; obviously, as wholesome--or at least not-pushing-any-buttons--as can be. I think Darkness would work fine. I'd be okay with Homogenic myself, but anything even remotely touching on race would be a problem. (We have a large Icelandic community where I teach.)
Some good suggestions there, thanks.

Bob Dylan - Highway 61 Revisited
Blonde on Blonde would work too
kinda tough to find an album cover with just one face on it! if you have any twins or siblings you could do either side of Cheap Trick's - In Color/And In Black & White

Billy Idol probably has some good ones
― Hazy Maze Cave (Adam Bruneau), Friday, 27 April 2018 12:48 (eight years ago)
or maybe the classic Elvis LP w the pink and green font

More than one face would be fine--I could have more than one student on an album cover. (Tried Darkness on the Edge of Town--worked pretty well!)

Phil Collins - No Jacket Required

Well, my Darkness mock-up was soundly rejected (primarily, I think, because of the clunky photo-doctoring). Should have checked with the class first; I sometimes go too far in assuming my enthusiasms are theirs. I think we're going to do something bobblehead-related instead. Anyway, thanks for the input.
