I Try To Write About Small Things
An alternative cover for Talking Heads, made out of typography found on the objects mentioned in their songs.

Hipgnosis was a British record cover design studio whose clientele included names such as Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, and Peter Gabriel. Through their powerful photography, they have revolutionized the face of the vinyl cover industry, bringing it to the status of an artistic statement, rather than just a marketing tool for musicians. However, they have thoroughly avoided using typography (or more precisely, the names of the groups and artists they worked for).
Seen that my bachelor thesis revolved around exploring Hipgnosis and their approach to creating, I have decided to take their most famous record covers - Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon", and Peter Gabriel's self-titled album -, and turn them into typographical artworks, while still keeping the symbols and details that made the originals what they are.
