I didn't realize how much Pink Floyd's album artwork imprinted itself on my soul until my first thought at totality was "Pink Floyd's artist nailed it, the uncanny well ringed by pure white light"

Squaring the Circle: The Story of Hipgnosis

Squaring the Circle: The Story of Hipgnosis    [trailer]

The story of the album art design studio, Hipgnosis, who created some of the most iconic album covers of all time.

Highly entertaining. So many memorable album covers. A must-see if you're a fan of bands/performers like Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Wings, 10cc or Peter Gabriel. Aubrey Powell tells so many amusing anecdotes.

It certainly helps that it's directed by Anton Corbijn who himself is responsible for a lot of great cover art himself.

An article about the doc.

Side note, Colin Firth has a producer credit. I wonder how that happened.

Storm Thorgerson & Aubrey Powell:

This picture of a sheep on a psychoanalytic couch was designed as a poster insert for 10cc's 1980 album Look Hear?. The band had asked for 'something different'. I decided to take them literally and suggest something without imagery, without imagery? Bit like shooting myself in the foot. I suggested that the album cover was verbal, like a newspaper headline, large fragmented text, no imagery. I thought it was more engaging to ask a question and between us we came up with 'Are You Normal?' as if the viewer were barmy, which somehow applied to the intrinsic madness of rock'n'roll, of 10cc.....
