About

Hipgnosis was a British art design group known for creating iconic album covers for rock bands in the 1970s and 1980s. Founded by Storm Thorgerson and Aubrey Powell, Hipgnosis became renowned for their innovative and surreal designs, often incorporating photographic elements and experimental techniques to create memorable visual experiences.

Observations

The style uses cinematic, wide compositions to stage uncanny encounters between human figures, animals, architecture, and vast natural settings. Saturated reds, blues, and pinks are tempered by dark water and heavy shadows, while grain, dramatic skies, and impossible juxtapositions create a dreamlike surrealism.
