Zeppelin III (3 of 5 for Final)




This is Led Zeppelin's album cover I found in my collection. The abstract, psychedelic artwork was designed by Zacron, a multi-media artist whom Jimmy Page had met in 1963 while Zacron was a student at Kingston College of Art (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Led_Zeppelin_III#Album_sleeve_design). Behind the front cover is a rotatable laminated card disc, or volvelle, covered with more images, including photos of the band members, which shows through holes in the cover. It has a very abstract/surrealist look throughout the composition. The majority of the images are related to aviation (like the band name Led Zeppelin).
