A Storm is coming…
Storm Thorgerson is, in his own words ” [a] graphic designer, film maker & tennis fiend” he is also the designer behind a vast amount of iconic album covers. Until today, I was unaware of just how many iconic album covers he was responsible for (even though several reside in my parents loft).
It’s amazing to think that some of the images created were done prior to the invention of digital photography or a profound knowledge of desktop publishing.
If you would like to see more by Storm, a collection of his most recognisable work is now on show at Idea Generation Gallery in London until 2 May 2010.
