It contains some of the Beatles' worldwide hits such as "With a little help from my friends" and "Lucy in the Sky with diamonds. The artwork and content of this album fits with everyone being together, which suits what was going on at that time. The background is cutouts of different famous people. All the bright colors used in this album can attract fans' devotion by bringing positive energy through different fans' perspectives. The album cover consists of "The Beatles" written in flowers, following everyone who stands behind them. The backdrop of the album is meant to be a fake band serving as the band's alter ego, which is Paul McCartney's idea. I feel like this album perfectly represents the band at that time. In 1967, The Beatles were leading the way as an international sensation in America and the "make love, not war" stereotype that was prevalent at that time. This album cover shows people coming together. The Beach Boys influenced the album and the Grammy Award-winning album packaging was designed by Robert Fraser, designed by Peter Blake and Jann Haworth, his wife and artistic partner, and photographed by Michael Cooper .2.
