Pink Floyd: The Years Later Cover

“The design for Pink Floyd – The Early Years had been very dry and a graphic based on the original Pink Floyd touring van of 1966 which was black with a white diagonal stripe. So I set about compiling a list of people I wanted to work with. At the top of my list was Michael Johnson from the Johnson Banks studio. He came up with an interesting concept and with some input from me, we decided on a young woman walking a desert road near Joshua Tree in California. As she passed the street lights at the side of the road they would seem to curve and turn in an unusual manner. It’s partly Sci-Fi and partly about power. The power to change the normal into the abnormal by a simple twist of fate. The power of Pink Floyd. Rupert Truman who photographs many pictures for me these days did the photography and I designed the box set with the help of art director Peter Curzon.”
