Dark Side of the Moon Album Cover



This legendary Pink Floyd album cover, designed by Storm Thorgerson, makes the use of contrasting colors in the background and foreground. Thorgerson's obsession with contorting space in his designs is also evident in this design, just in a different manner than in say, The Division Bell. The white line going through the 2 dimensional triangle transforms into the rainbow colors. With this design, Thorgerson uses a technique, similar to techniques used in optical illusions like the Never-Ending Staircase, that can only be accomplished with 2-dimensional design.
