Description:

In the vibrant year of 1968, a creative alliance was born between aspiring art students Storm Thorgerson and Aubrey "Po" Powell. Their innovative approach led them to design a striking photo collage for their musician friends Syd, David, and Roger as they prepared to release Pink Floyd's album A Saucerful of Secrets. Unbeknownst to them at the time, this collaboration would serve as a catalyst for both the meteoric rise of Pink Floyd as one of the most influential bands of the 1970s and the inception of Hipgnosis, an acclaimed graphic design studio specializing in iconic album covers. Over the next quarter-century, the duo would leave a lasting impact on the music industry with their groundbreaking visual work for numerous artists. This film delves into the beginnings of this artistic partnership and the birth of two iconic entities that forever changed the landscape of music and design.
