The beatles Design.

Oringial Album Artwork.

My idea was to use only part of the image and extend the zebra crossing downwards on the page (example Below) I used the retangular shape tool to do this. To achive the slanted look of the top zebra crossing i used the 'warp' transform option.

I the used the lasso tool to cut out the shapes of the band on that layer making empty silhouettes of the them. On the layer beneath I added an edited photo – using the photofilter ‘cutout’ to create a pop art style- of the band to fill the gaps. I then added typography using a typeface I downloaded that replicated the Beatles logo typestyle.




Silhouettes of band.

Final Design.

I went through many different colour schemes before settling for the red-ish pink colour. I went for this colour as it reminded me of the bright pop-art of Andy Warhol but also the ‘psychedelic’ colours featured in many 60’s posters and fashion, because of these connections I thought it would help to cement the decade more.
