Storm Thorgerson was an English Graphic Designer, who along with Aubrey Powell, co-founded the graphic art group Hipgnosis, which created many iconic album cover designs from 1968-1983 for artists like Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Peter Gabriel, and many MANY more. Hipgnosis and Thorgerson’s work was consistently surreal, with objects and figures appearing in unusual contexts.
