Abstract

The London-based design agency known as Hipgnosis, comprising primarily Storm Thorgerson, Aubrey Powell and later Peter Christopherson (along with several itinerant freelance collaborators), stood at the forefront of rock’s imaginative leap from the mundane to the magical (and also occasionally into the absurd and grotesque) during its operation from 1968 to 1983. The studio helped to make the album cover more integral to a record’s artistic totality, effectively translating sonic experiences into still images and accelerating the rock album cover’s development.
