A Hard Day’s Night – alternate Criterion designs

One of Fron Miller’s designs

A couple of designers have shared their design ideas for the USA edition of the new A Hard Day’s Night movie release. It was by request from Criterion Collection that these designs were made, before the company eventually landed on Rodrigo Corral’s design. You can see some of Fron Miller’s designs on his blog (he may post more design ideas later), and Sam Smyth’s design is also posted on his own blog.

Sam Smyth’s design idea. Same photo that eventually ended up on the British release.
