Description Here's another Illustrator version of an absolutely wonderful album, both musically and in design. I've been working on this one on and off for about 3 years now. I originally started because I wanted something cool to print out on our (then) new 36" wide Designjet 2500, things have moved on from then, I began drawing this in Illustrator 7, then 9 and now 10 although I've not used any 10 dependant features (i think) also the printer has moved on also, we now own 2 60" wide Designjets (5000 and 5500) and one day would love to print a full out 60 inch print of this, having said that, the computer screen hides a multitude of sins that would stick out like a sore thumb when printed.

Once again i hasten to add that this was produced from scratch, however if I am breaking any site or copyright rules, I will naturally remove it from my gallery.

Actually, the sticker was drawn by George Hardie, a graphic artist who often collaborated with Hipgnosis. More info here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_H…

Ahhhh, the Floyd album I cut my teeth on, and still one of my favorites. Virtually identical to the original, so great job. Might have to print this out and hang it on my office door.

Thanks for the comment! What an awesome band, wish i could have seen them more than once. If you wanna print it out I could e-mail you a higher res version as I downsized it somewhat for submission.

We shall see. It'd just be for my door, so it's not like it needs massive dpi. If I don't like how it comes out, I'll let you know .
