Pink Floyd “Back” Catalogue Poster

The Classic 1997 Pink Floyd “Back” Catalogue Poster
By raul on July 19, 2012 in Pink Floyd

This classic picture commissioned by EMI in 1997, to cleverly advertise the release of the “back” catalogue of Pink Floyd was taken at a private indoor pool in Putney (London Borough of Wandsworth) by photographer Tony May in 1996.  The unknown nude models had the cover art of six Pink Floyd albums painted onto their backs by artist Phyllis Cohen.

UPDATE June 2015: I have received several messages from the actual models in the photo shoot.  All of them are named below.  Thank you Kimberley Cowell for reaching out to feelnumb.com.

Album Cover Art

Album Cover Art
Many famous bands have commissioned artists to produce cover designs for their albums. These images have become famous worldwide and a form of art in their own right. We have a selection of quality silkscreen prints of some of the most famous album covers of all time in our album cover gallery, including works by Sir Peter Blake, Storm Thorgerson and Richard Evans.

Classic album covers get the Lego treatment

Classic album covers get the Lego treatment
Never Mind The Artwork Here's The Lego
The work of British artist Aaron Savage, the idea is a simple one: reconstruct a host of music’s finest album covers – and Muse’s Absolution – using only Lego. Pleasingly, it all works, the endearing simplicity of Lego chiming with rock’n’roll’s playful immediacy.

Architectural Art

Architectural Art
CCA offers a diverse selection of artists that depict architectural subject matter, from the abstract lyricism of John Piper to the clean and contemporary glass structures of Brendan Neiland.

Storm Thorgerson 2

Storm Thorgerson

Uno de mis fotógrafos favoritos, famoso por realizar espectaculares imágenes. Hoy, si hay que diseñar e insertar una escultura de cuatro metros en una imagen, se crea digitalmente y se tira de retoque en PS. Thorgerson construye la escultura y la transporta hasta el lugar adecuado. O planta 800 camas de hospital en una playa mientras las sobrevuela un ala delta, prende fuego a un especialista que da la mano tranquilamente mientras arde, cuelga a seis personas con una grúa en medio del desierto, construye un globo gigante con forma de cerdo y lo hace volar sobre Londres… Imágenes conceptuales y surrealistas, de esas que dan que pensar.

Historyshots, porfolio

We live where history, data, and art converge.  We started designing and selling high quality original graphics that combine lots of information with thoughtful designs in 2003. As pioneers of the business of selling prints based on data and design, we relied on our love of maps, history and statistical graphics to carry us through the steep learning curve. Even though our work has won numerous design awards and has been featured in dozens of visual information design publications we're still striving to create new and interesting graphics!

BestInfographics, blog

BestInfographics
Rather than just create another infographic site that displays the same infographics you can find at many other sites, we have tried to showcase only infographics that are some of the best, which may simply mean they are more creative, experimental or even vintage and rarely seen. We also include infographics that were created for print media, both now and from the past, as well as digital infographics created for today. But we try to show something you haven’t seen before and we try to only show the best infographics.
