Alan Aldridge
British graphic designer and illustrator known for psychedelic artwork
Alan Aldridge was a British graphic designer and illustrator, born in 1943 in London. He is best known for his work in the 1960s and 1970s, where he created iconic album covers and book illustrations that captured the spirit of the psychedelic era. Aldridge's distinctive style, characterized by vibrant colors, intricate patterns, and surreal imagery, made him a sought-after artist for musicians and publishers alike.
Aldridge began his career as an illustrator for The Sunday Times Magazine before becoming the art director for Penguin Books. During his time at Penguin, he revolutionized book cover design with his bold and imaginative graphics. He also worked closely with The Beatles, designing the cover for their 1966 album A Hard Day's Night and the illustrated lyric book The Beatles Illustrated Lyrics. His work for Elton John's 1975 album Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy is another notable example of his contribution to the music industry.
In addition to album covers, Aldridge created posters, advertisements, and logos, further cementing his reputation as a versatile and influential graphic designer. His work has been exhibited in galleries and museums around the world, including the Victoria and Albert Museum in London and the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Aldridge's influence on graphic design and illustration is still felt today, and his work continues to inspire new generations of artists. He passed away in 2017, leaving behind a legacy of groundbreaking and imaginative design.
