Bob Dylan Artwork

Bob Dylan -"Bob Dylan" (1962)

The debut album from folk great Bob Dylan is a trademark of what the genre is about. The cover features a dominante figure image of the performing artist. Also the acousic guitar gives an insight into what genre the artist performs as it is heavily related to folk.











Bob Dylan - "Nashville Skyline" (1969)

Like the album cover above, the centre piece is that again of the artist. Like one of his previous album covers above.
The location of this album cover is a key element of this photographic image. It was taken in Nashville, Tennessee which is an iconic city, inspired by both the folk and rock genre. The title of the album is obviously related the location of this shot.
Again the genre is established through the capture of the guitar in the image.


Bob Dylan
- "Together Through Life" (2009)
One of Bob Dylan's most recent works, with a few re-releases. The album artwork is that of a a black and white photoghraph rumoured to be that of an edited image of Dylan. The font is set out like an American Petrol company sign to present the artists nationalism, a somewhat patriotic symbol.

    It would be useful if you got a post together identifying aspects of your research which will strongly influence your own designs for your 4 panels. Go for it Craig then I can advise.
