Featuring Pink Floyd's iconic album covers, posters, singles bags, band photographs, booklet pages and the rough artwork that evolved into some of the most recognisable designs in music history, this paperback edition of Mind Over Matter presents the complete body of material, including 32 pages of artwork created for reissues since 2007. Storm Thorgerson, the world-renowned designer who died in 2013, combines his memoir of working with Pink Floyd with the artwork he created to represent the band at every stage of their career. Revisiting the albums, Thorgerson shares personal insights into the ideas and processes behind this legendary imagery. Designers who collaborated with Thorgerson also contribute, and the book includes work from the Oh By The Way box set, the Atom Heart Mother 40th Anniversary 'Wire Cow' sculpture, the Why Pink Floyd? campaign, and the Dark Side Of The Moon 40th Anniversary images and stickers.
Art and video director Storm Thorgerson (1944-2013) was best known for the inspired and surreal designs that graced over four decades of Pink Floyd album covers and visuals. In 1968 he co-founded the album cover design company Hipgnosis with Aubrey 'Po' Powell and conceived their first album cover for Pink Floyd's A Saucerful of Secrets. Hipgnosis created some of the most innovative and iconic record cover art of the 1960s, 70s and 80s for the biggest bands and musicians of the era including Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, 10cc and Peter Gabriel.
