Heinz Edelmann (1934-2009) was a well-known German designer, illustrator and teacher. However, he was most famous for his work as an art director and\u00a0character\u00a0designer for\u00a0the Beatles’ 1968 animated film\u00a0“Yellow Submarine”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout the 60s Edelmann was a regular illustrator and cover designer for the West German youth magazine\u00a0twen<\/em> (published 1959 to 1971), which was known for its innovative use of design and typography. In 1967 and 1968, he worked on\u00a0“Yellow Submarine”. Following the release, he worked for two years as a partner in a small London animation company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Edelmann then moved to\u00a0Amsterdam\u00a0and designed play and film posters as well as book jackets. Among these was a cover design for a German edition of\u00a0Tolkien’s\u00a0“The Lord of the Rings”. He also illustrated\u00a0Kenneth Grahame’s\u00a0famous\u00a0children’s book:\u00a0“The Wind in the Willows”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Edelmann taught industrial graphic design at the D\u00fcsseldorf University of Applied Sciences from 1972 to 1976, then lectured at\u00a0the Cologne University of Applied Sciences. In 1989, he became a professor of illustration at the\u00a0Stuttgart State Academy of Fine Arts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Really love this simple children’s book illustration by Edelmann. It somehow reminds me of Emma’s Cinderella watercolour illustration assignment.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Edelmann also designed the “Curro”, the 1992\u00a0Seville World’s Fair\u00a0mascot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I felt compelled to add this one because I like the style in which the figures are drawn.
