This blog shows the 3 album covers I have designed. Each cover is based around one song written by The Beatles and is accompanied by a brief description of the cover and its connection to the song or its message.
This album cover, my attempt to represent that story behind the song While My Guitar Gently Weeps into a photo, uses individual images of each band member cut out and photoshopped together to appear somewhat like a photo of the band. Each member is purposefully looking away from the camera, and each other, to represent the tension and separation going on between the band members that this song sings about and that was happening when this song was released. I have also included the three members who ever played guitar in the band holding guitars to represent the words and title of the song as well as including an image of studio 2 in the background (the studio room in Abbey Road Studios often used to record The Beatles music), to try and create an image taken of the band that does not truly exist.

Though Yellow Submarine is not my favorite song written by The Beatles, it is a very nostalgic song for me as it was one of the first songs I heard written by The Beatles while in Jose and Tisha’s Kindergarten class ten years ago. This album cover compiles all the characters and many events and scenes from the Yellow Submarine Movie released by The Beatles as well as the four Beatles themselves, seen in the front (from left to right: John, Paul, George and Ringo). This album cover also includes several smaller details such as the original font used for the Yellow Submarine movie title used on The Beatles band name and The Beatles ties each featuring their favorite color.
