BBC News - Pink Floyd album designer Storm Thorgerson dies

Storm Thorgerson, whose album cover artwork includes Pink Floyd's The Dark Side of the Moon, has died aged 69, the band's management has confirmed.

A childhood friend of the founding members of the band, he became their designer-in-chief, fashioning a string of eye-catching creations.

Most-famously he designed the prism spreading a spectrum of colour across The Dark Side Of The Moon.

His credits also include albums by Led Zeppelin, Peter Gabriel and Muse.


Such a shame, i'm a massive fan of several bands he has created artwork for. I'm sure you all own at least one album with his artwork on and you've looked at it in detail and admired it. RIP.

He did the 'flying pigs' on the Wish You Were Here album cover. Clever guy. RIP

'Animals' is pretty much my favourite album cover - I know th e pig was pasted on from a different shot but the lighting of the whole scene is gorgeous :love:
