Following his passing, the whole world of graphic design is paying its respect for Storm Thorgerson, the designer who crafted most of the covers of Pink Floyd albums, among others (Peter Gabriel, Led Zeppelin, Alan Parsons, Scorpions, Muse, Megadeth, The Cranberries, and so on).
When speaking about rock in the 1970's, one cannot forget to mention the huge artistic contribution of the late Storm Thorgerson.
Here are some of the press who remembered and appreciated the work these past few days.
- BBC News.
- The Guardian.
The Guardian also made a slideshow of 17 of Thorgerson's album covers, but you cuold easily had more to it, as it does not feature the finest of his art.
My personal pick : Led Zeppelin's "House Of The Holy", as displayed below. RIP.
