A beautiful design by George Hardie, re-created in vectors on Affinity Designer for iPad.
This is an alternative cover for Pink Floyd’s 1975 album “Wish You Were Here“. It was also a part of some early distributions as a sticker, and later used for cassette tapes and CD covers. The album is in large part a tribute to fellow band-mate and co-founder Syd Barret, who developed severe mental health issues and had left the band already seven years before this release.
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.
