Editing Tusk (album) (section)

==Artwork==
Rather than solicit the services of [[Herbert W. Worthington]], who created the cover art for ''Rumours'', the band opted to select three photographers from different disciplines to design the album sleeve for ''Tusk''.<ref name="Wacky">{{Cite web |last=Lifton |first=Dave |date=26 September 2018|title=Fleetwood Mac's Weird, Wacky, Bold and Beautiful Album Covers |url=https://ultimateclassicrock.com/fleetwood-mac-faq-book-excerpt/ |access-date=25 September 2024 |website=Ultimate Classic Rock |language=en}}</ref> [[Peter Beard]], who specialised as a documentary photographer, was enlisted to supply images for the album sleeve and spent two weeks in the recording studio taking [[Polaroid Corporation|Polaroids]] of the band and its inner circle. He also augmented this footage with images of elephant tusks.<ref name="Sabotage"/> During one of those sessions, Beard took a photo of Caillat's dog biting his leg, which ultimately became the cover art for ''Tusk''. Fleetwood had originally promised Nicks that the cover art would feature an image of her twirling and dancing; Nicks later told Caillat that she placed a curse on his dog for "stealing her cover".{{sfn|Caillat|Rojas|2019|p=192}}

[[Norman Seeff]] recalled that he encountered some difficulties in assembling all five members into one location and likened the experience to "herding cats". 

<blockquote>It was like being a sort of a school teacher in the kindergarten because everyone was having their own wonderful time...Each of them was individually fascinating, but together you could feel an electricity between everyone. And I’m working with all the stories of what was going on with them, and then they start to touch each other and flow with the music. It was magic, because rather than being five separate people they became one.<ref>{{Cite magazine |last=Schruers |first=Fred |date=22 April 2019 |title=Norman Seeff Shares Stories Behind Iconic Photos of the Rolling Stones, Fleetwood Mac & More |url=https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/norman-seeff-photos-interview-8507700/ |access-date=25 September 2024 |magazine=Billboard |language=en-US}}</ref></blockquote>

Jayme Odgers was responsible for creating the upside-down photograph found in the booklet, which featured Fleetwood clinging to a chair on the ceiling, Buckingham and Nicks suspended in the air, and both McVies firmly planted on the ground. When Odgers proposed the idea, the band was uncooperative and refused to be in the same room together, so Odgers instead took photographs of the band individually in different poses. Odgers pieced together the separate shots into a more cohesive photograph and credited the band's obstinance for achieving the final product. "Unbeknownst to them, my photographic forte was putting separate images together seamlessly, so I pushed on. Had they all been willing to be photographed together, the image never would have looked like it does." The photo also served as a point of contention for Warner Bros, who opposed its inclusion in the booklet. According to Odgers, Fleetwood informed him that the band spent two hours discussing the fate of the image; Fleetwood ultimately convinced Warner Bros to keep the image on the grounds that it would potentially elicit further discussion among the public. In 2016, a [[black-and-white]] version of Odger's photo was used as the front cover of the ''Alternate Tusk'' album, a collection issued by [[Rhino Entertainment|Rhino Records]] consisting of alternate takes and live recordings.<ref name="Wacky"/>
