The Beatles: Songs Brought To Life

The Beatles: Songs Brought To Life represents a collaborative project that was assigned to learn the process behind printing a professional quality book. While it was extremely difficult to narrow down the song selection to only a handful, the main goal was to focus on songs that told a strong narrative. Songs such as "Rocky Raccoon" and "Being For The Benefit Of Mr. Kite" are perfect examples of the fantastic storytelling that The Beatles were capable of. 
 
The songs are placed in chronological order, with a timeline spread dividing the songs by year. This timeline displays the major events that affected The Beatles, such as album releases and John meeting Yoko Ono, as well as worldwide historical events to give the reader a better idea of the global climate in which these songs were crafted/released in.
