This album digipack imidiatly stands out for me and is one of the mose effective i have come across. This too similar to other successful iconic covers has a running theme throughout the digipack. This is all shown in black and white which stands out when we first look at it. It's big bold writing is effective as it is the title 'Revolver' that we first see when opening the digipack. This sharpness and clearness also reflects the music that is on the album. I like how the naming of the band does not feature on the cover, this shows that buyers of the album will be familar with the band as they are one of the biggest of all time. The cover of the album is intresting in the fact it is different. It shows the faces of the band but in a rough sketch illustration, and this shows they are easily recognisable as people would immidiatly know the band just from this. The album cover was created by artist and bassist Klaus Voormann, who was a friend of John Lennons from the bands time in Germany. Voormann later recieved a Grammy Award for Best Album Cover, Graphic Arts for this work. I like the crazy design of he cover and how it dosn't really make sense or link to the music on the album, but however is still effective and renound as one of the most iconic covers of all time. Voormann came up with this design from a number of drawins in his scrapbook that came together.
