The Beatles Abbey Road - Minimalist Mashup Posters

We've been meaning, for some time, to give the Posteritty treatment to some iconic album covers, and near the top of the list was always going to be 'Abbey Road' by The Beatles. We started off super minimal with just the road markings but thought the iconic elements (Beetle, Police Van, Chap looking on etc) needed to be included, so it went a little 'maximal'

As the background took a little while to illustrate we thought we might create some extras and as we're big Star Wars fans, this happened...

We're also fans of Monty Python and walking Sillily...

Then we couldn't stop...

BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge Month 2015

30 Days, 30 Musicians, a rash decision to illustrate them all!

Two days ago Radio 1 announced the lineup for the 2015 Live Lounge Month, while listening to the names being read out, we had a seemingly bright idea: lets 'Posterittize' all of the musicians and create a visual calendar of who's playing which day and it can double as a bit of a 'Guess the musician' game.

Sounded pretty straightforward, 30's not that big a number is it?... then we started breaking it down:

  • 30 Musicians/Singers/Bands
  • 65 Heads
  • 130 Eyebrows
  • 28 beards
  • 11 Lips
  • 5 Hats

Sheeeit!

But when we decide to do something, we get it done! 48 sleepless hours later, we can present...

The Posteritty visual calendar for the 2015 Radio 1 Live Lounge month

You can download a high resolution version here that you can save as desktop wallpaper to make sure you don't miss your favourite artist.

Then we thought we may as well do a few of the current Radio 1 DJ's as well, can you name them all?
