Who designed the album cover art for The Beatles, Abby Road?

Who shot the photography for the album cover and who designed the final piece?


What was their inspiration?|||"At some point, the album was going to be titled Everest after the brand of cigarettes I used to smoke," recalls Geoff Emerick (engineer) . The idea included a cover photo in the Himalayas but by the time the group was to take the photo they decided to call it Abbey Road and take the photo outside the studio on 8 August 1969. The cover designer was Apple Records creative director Kosh. The cover photograph was taken by photographer Iain Macmillan. Macmillan was given only ten minutes around 11:30 that morning to take the photo on a zebra crossing on Abbey Road.


With the exception of Harrison the group are wearing suits designed by Tommy Nutter. Paul took out his sandals in some of the pictures. The car belonged to someone who used to live in one apartment.


The man standing on the pavement in the background is Paul Cole , an American tourist unaware he had been photographed until he saw the album cover months later.
