 Turner views the selection of attire as reflective of the Beatles "still dressing similarly yet with an individual stamp"; he identifies the choice of sunglasses as another example of a unified yet personalised look, whereby the styles ranged from oblong-shaped lenses, for Lennon, to an oval-shaped pair worn by Starr.Gould, who describes Starr's glasses as "ludicrously bug-eyed", considers the cover design to be consistent with the "break with the past" ethos that had guided the album's creation.During the same photo shoot, Whitaker took pictures of the Beatles examining orange transparencies of his "butcher cover" design for "Yesterday and Today" – an image that, due to its depiction of dismembered baby dolls and raw meat, proved instantly controversial in America.
