Juanes Asks Fans To Help Design His New Album Cover

By Michael Lopez

He may not have a name yet for his upcoming album, but Juanes definitely has a cool idea about how to execute the cover art. As a way to include his Twitter Followers and Facebook Fans in the process, he’s asking everyone to submit their own personal pictures, which he plans to incorporate in the final design.

Late last month, the Colombian rocker Tweeted this message to all of his fans,

“Hola todos ! Si quieren que su foto sea parte del arte de mi nuevo álbum pueden subirla ya mismo en http://fanwall.Juanes.net #fb”

We know what you’re thinking. With 1.4 million Tweeters behind him and another 1.7 million on Facebook, how can Juanes possibly squeeze that many pix into one tiny CD case? The truth is, he’s actually picking the Top 3,000 for the final design.

And as we can recall from that notebook experiment, Juanes is very creative and can come up with some pretty interesting ideas when it comes to graphic art. The problem is, he’s going to have A LOT to choose from. According to Billboard.com, there have been over 52,000 people from 93 different countries who have submitted photographs thus far.

Plenty more submissions are expected and we can only imagine the timely process it will take to find absolute best for the final design. So our advice is, before you send your pic in, make sure it really stands out. Then in December (when the album is set to hit shelves), check out your local record store and see if your face got immortalized in the final product!
