Storm Thorgerson

To influence our ideas with for our ancillary tasks we looked into the designs of many of the original Pink Floyd album art work and how they were presented. One of the artists who produced many pieces of work for them was Storm Thorgerson, a renowned artist, especially at the time of many of their releases.
He produced album art work for a large majority of their releases including their most prevalent works such as 'Dark Side of the Moon', 'Wish You Were Here', 'The Division Bell' and 'Animals'.
Thorgerson was famous for his bizarre images and imaginative creations. Many of the albums are closely associated with the images they bear as artwork, such as the Dark Side of the Moon prism, which is a globally recognised icon of the album.
We felt it would be a good idea to use these works as a means to influence our work in order to make it appear close to that which is already globally recognised as Pink Floyd 'Style'. One main influence is of course the Dark Side of the Moon prism, as this is the album which we are using a song from.
Thorgerson continues to work with bands today, such as the band Muse, producing artwork for their albums 'Absolution' and 'Black Holes and Revelations'.


Here are some examples of his album artwork:
