Week 6 (Part 2)

To wrap up this week's inspirations, I figured that I'd end it with a high note. When I need an uplift in the creative department, sometimes I will just listen to (or simply look at imagery of) the Beatles. They are the perfect blend of raw superior talent, amazing music, vivid personalities, and they have some of the coolest photographs and art. I would be shocked to meet someone who hasn't heard of them or listened to one of their many awesome tracks.

They have some of the most iconic imagery, brands, music, and their personalities unleashed creativity that might as well be unparallelled. The Beatles' logo uses height and a sort of pseudo-serif to differentiate their logo from other type. The miniature "The" fits in well with the length of the A and T, and the T is utilized as a descender to make up for the added height of "The." The B is an ascender to emphasize their name, but also to help anchor the logo into a box-like plain. Overall, and needless to say, this logo is no stranger to the limelight, even in today's world.

The Beatles always had a knack when it came to photography. They were very photogenic and some of their snapshots have basically immortalized in the annals of history, such as their Abbey Road album cover or their iconic "action" shots. Because they followed their dreams, they crafted such amazing music with equal imagery that can inspire the whole world. Whether it's the Walrus, the Yellow Submarine, The Meanies, the Apple, or even Revolver's album art, the Fab Four never cease to inspire creativity to me and I believe that there never will be a time they don't. Hopefully their music and their canon and the culture they spawned can inspire you all too. (Either that, or you all can respect their messages. I can't tell you how much I sing "A Hard Day's Night" to myself during the school year; hours of hard work from classes really catch up!!).

Alrighty everyone, until next week! Let me know what you all think!
