# Reversed Album Covers Harvezt Flips Iconic Covers to the Backside By Jamie Danielle Munro | Published 2014-04-11 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/harvezt References: [designboom](http://www.designboom.com/art/harvezt-reverses-album-dark-side-of-the-covers-04-10-2014/) & [flickr](https://www.flickr.com/photos/93699963@N04/) Harvezt is an artist who likes to see things from a different perspective. The artist's latest pieces involve iconic album art that have been reversed, so that viewers can see things from the backside. [Metallica](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/metallica-turntable), [The Beatles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eton-1) and [Nirvana](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/freaks-store-1) have all made it into Harvezt's roster. The iconic Abbey Road cover, for example, is flipped so that viewers see a police man blowing a whistle to allow the young group to cross the road. The floating baby from Nirvana is now seen with his bum front and center, so that viewers get a look at how this scene would appear from the other side of the pool. According to DesignBoom, "the realizations predict a varied aspect of each scene, cleverly allowing the viewer a completely altered glimpse into the famous images."
