From AP:
STUTTGART, Germany (AP) — Graphic designer Heinz Edelmann, best known for his work as art director of the 1968 Beatles film "Yellow Submarine," has died, his former employer said. He was '75.

When I was child I was electrified by the Yellow Submarine for four reasons. One: It was a cartoon that took place underwater. Two: It had really cool sea monsters in it, Three: The art was bold and experimental and I could copy it and contribute to it in my own way. Four: It was Beatles.
If there wasn't a Heinz Edelmann, the pop-art nouveau of the 1970's would have never of happened.
The Eleanor Rigby sequence was not my favorite sequence but what they accomplished with so little technology inspired many motion graphics artists today.
All the bumpers you see on Comedy Central where 2d art is placed in 3d space is an example. This trailer is an example:
