Storm Thorgerson was an English Graphic Designer. He is best known for his multiple work with rock artists including Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin, as he also directed music videos and designed their album covers.
I very much like his work because of the abstract and sometimes slightly surreal aspects. This gives his picture interesting and unique features that make his work recognisable and memorable. Whilst his pictures have surreal elements, I like his use of vibrant and saturated colours to contrast this theme. A common theme in a lot of his pictures is the bright blue sky, as his pictures, especially his personal works, are mainly located outside, on a wide spread of empty space, with a clear and bright blue sky. Then he inserts various types of foreground images in a 4th plinth style. I like how he uses shadows and works very well and cleverly with lighting, to make the images he inserts, very life like looking, like they belong there.
