I drew another LP cover – one of my favorite Pink Floyd albums, and their tribute to Syd Barret. This is an alternate version that started as a sticker, but has later been used for casette tapes, CDs and LP box sets. The reference for this image is the 50 year anniversary edition of the album.

The original design was created by George Hardie, a graphic designer and illustrator working at Hipgnosis, a London based art design group that specialised in creating album cover artwork for rock musicians and bands. After spending hours and hours with this, I'm in awe of mr. Hardie's skills, creating this (and so many more) using analog tools only.

A circlular sticker design. Across the top at a 45° angle shows two machines clasped together, resembling a handshake. The machine on the left is translucent, while the other appears to be shiny metal. The whole circle is divided into four quarters in different colours. The pink quarter, located on upper-left, has the sun shining and "PINK FLOYD" in big font; below the band name is "WISH YOU WERE HERE" in small font. The yellow quarter at lower-left displays sand dunes. The blue quarter at upper-right shows blue skies. The green quarter at lower-right displays green- or teal-coloured water.
