Integrated2009 is a biannual international design conference that will take place in deSingel Antwerp on Thursday 22 & Friday 23 October 2009.
Integrated2009 will focus on the crossover between contemporary graphic design, illustration, typo- graphy, new media, technology & art.

Integrated2009 is organised by my school Sint Lucas Antwerpen (Karel de Grote-Hogeschool)
in collaboration with deSingel, Internationale Kunstcampus, Antwerp.

Here our introduction film about Storm Thorgerson comes. We hope that Thorgerson will take a part in Integrated2009 and we can watch our mini-movie on the large screen. :) But first, shirt about Storm Thorgerson self.

Storm Thorgerson (GBR), 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 his 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, and is without a doubt one of the most iconic. 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.

To quote Thorgerson, “I like photography because it is a reality medium, unlike drawing which is unreal. I like to mess with reality…to bend reality. Some of my works beg the question of is it real or not?” Several books have been devoted to surveying Thorgerson’s work over three-plus decades.
