Avedon was commissioned to photograph The Beatles and designed a series of posters that visually captured the new psychedelic direction of Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band and Magical Mystery Tour. Avedon superimposed Day-Glo colors and symbolic attributes on the solarized prints: Ringo's white dove of peace, George's mystical henna patterns, Paul's flower power and John's extravagant glasses.
