ALBUM COVER IDEA 1

THE BEATLES. LOVE.

Love is a remix album by The Beatles released in November 2006. The design doesn't contain photo's of the band... However, the warm yellows and oranges connote that the album is going to be bright and colourful like sunshine, like most of the Beatles songs are. I have incorporated this into our design by using the same silhouette design but instead of using yellows and oranges, i have used the American flag as a background. I like this idea, however, it does not get out artist's image across well enough to the audience, it works well for the Beatles are the are a cult image that everybody knows, no matter if they are young or old, fans or haters. I like this design, but i don't think we will use it.

THE BEATLES: ABBEY ROAD.

This is perhaps one of the most famous album covers of all time. This was made into merchandise such as posters and tshirts which are still sold today, even though the album was released in 1970. I have used inspiration from this to create a design that fits our theme. I have used the same idea of crossing the road but swapped the crossing for the walk of fame and the background for LA to make it fit our album name of Hollywood. I like this idea, but i think it has been changed to much for people to notice and makes our design look too plain.
However, it would be good to use this idea as it is such an iconic image, it's still currently used in merchandise which is still sold world wide, such as mugs and tshirts.
