Storm Thorgerson



Something is very consistent with Storm Thorgerson's designs, whether it is the vast use of open space or the contortions of reality. Maybe it's the open fields that this designer depicts a lot in his work. Would Pink Floyd be half as popular as they are if not for this man's incredibly unique designs?


Besides doing an overwhelming majority of Pink Floyd's designs, Thorgerson also has done designs for Phish, Muse, The Cranberries, The Offspring, and The Styx, to name a few. Almost every design has the same unique style, with lots of open space and very surreal images.


He also made several music videos, Notably for Yes and Pink Floyd. Here is an example of how his style translates to his cinematography.
