Abstract

Abstract: Aubrey Powell started his creative life as the photographer and graphic designer for Hipgnosis, the acclaimed design studio he co‐founded in 1967 with Storm Thorgerson. They were instrumental in defining Pink Floyd's graphic identity. Powell and Hipgnosis began working with Mark Fisher on the Pink Floyd 'Animals' world tour and album cover. It was a natural progression for Powell to move into filmmaking some 15 years later, when music video started. Here he describes some of his design collaborations with STUFISH.
