Wiki Quote:

Gary Baseman (born 1960) is an artist who works in various media including drawing, painting, illustration, toy design, and animation. He coined the term, “pervasive art” to describe how his art, as well as countless others in the contemporary art world, has moved to media and venues outside of traditional fine art to popular culture and alternative outlets such as in fashion, design, toys, animation, music, performance, and beyond.[1] Although Baseman did not train formally as an artist, he developed an aesthetic style using iconic images and strong messages, reflective of his focus in Communications at UCLA, where he graduated Phi Beta Kappa, Magna cum laude.

Wiki quote:

Storm Thorgerson (born 1944) is an English graphic designer, known for his work for rock bands like Pink Floyd, 10cc, Led Zeppelin, Dream Theater, The Mars Volta, Muse and The Cranberries.

Storm Thorgerson was born in Potters Bar, which was in Middlesex at the time and is now in Hertfordshire. He was a key member of the British graphic art group Hipgnosis, and designed many of their most famous single and album covers. Latterly, he runs a design studio called StormStudios – a loose group of freelancers.

Perhaps Thorgerson’s most famous designs are those for Pink Floyd. His design for The Dark Side of the Moon has been called one of the greatest album covers of all time. Many of his designs are notable for their surreal elements. He often places objects out of their traditional contexts, especially with vast spaces around them, to give them an awkward appearance while highlighting their beauty.
