Timbale Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 I tripped across this documentary on Apple... Squaring The Circle is the story of Hipgnosis. The film features interviews with Aubrey Powell (and archived interviews with Storm Thorgerson) as well as members of Pink Floyd, Zeppelin, Paul McCartney, Peter Gabriel and others. Really worth a watch if you love those bands and their iconic album covers. I learned a lot of stuff I didn't know, even as a huge Floyd and Gabriel fan! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grep Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 A circle is simply a polygon with an infinite number of angles. I don't think it's wants to be a square, man. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zepphead Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 I saw an ad for this documentary recently and have been meaning to watch it. .... It looks like something I would really enjoy. Hipgnosis have been responsible for a lot of my favourite albums through the years. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BastillePark Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 I saw that on the big screen a couple of weeks ago and it was fascinating. Too bad they didn't get hired by Rush for at least one cover. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like Hugh Syme's later, digital artwork is kind of trying to ape Storm's design aesthetic...but not really nailing it, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
