In 1964, a chance encounter during a Cambridge drug bust brought Aubrey Powell and Storm Thorgerson together, forging a lasting partnership. This led to the creation of Hipgnosis, a groundbreaking photo-design company that revolutionized album cover art. They became famous for their innovative and often surreal designs for iconic albums, including Pink Floyd's 'A Saucerful of Secrets' and the legendary 'Dark Side of the Moon', shaping the visual landscape of progressive rock.
