STORM THORGERSON WAS A BRITISH GRAPHIC DESIGNER
THOUGH HIS NAME MAY MAKE YOU THINK OF A FINNISH BLACK METAL SINGER
STORM’S DESIGNS ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY AVOIDED SHOWING PICTURES OF THE BAND
"DO IT FOR REAL"
ONE OF STORM’S STEADFAST PRINCIPLES IN HIS DESIGN WORK WAS TO
HE LIKED TO TRAVEL TO EXOTIC PLACES AND BUILD SCULPTURES IN REAL SPACES THAT HE CALLED “EXTALLATIONS”
HE’S HAD PEOPLE SIT ATOP TELEPHONE POLES

OR SET ON FIRE TO ILLUSTRATE AN IDEA
HE HAS BEEN CALLED THE SIXTH MEMBER OF PINK FLOYD
STORM NEVER FAILED TO LIVE UP TO HIS NAME AND WOULD OFTEN TELL PEOPLE HE HAD AN “EGO THE SIZE OF A SMALL PLANET”
THIS MAN DESIGNED HALF OF YOUR RECORD COLLECTION
