The story

The documentary follows the history of the Hipgnosis studio, from its beginnings in 1968. The studio was founded by Storm Thorgerson and Aubrey "Po" Powell, who were associates of Pink Floyd and were commissioned to design the cover for the album A Saucerful of Secrets. The film describes the production of several classic album covers by Hipgnosis through the 1970s by artists including Led Zeppelin, Peter Gabriel, Paul McCartney and Wings, 10cc, and others; plus several more covers for Pink Floyd.
