Photoshop this!
Beautiful movie poster! I want something like this on my living room wall. I'm not a Pink Floyd fan but who ever did created this piece of graphic-art I'm definitely a fan!
Anyone who tried watercolor you know that you can't paint over a mistake like oil base color medium. The first stroke is final and how the the water soak through the paper and how you apply the second brush stroke over, to control the wash effect creates the emotion of the subject. Just like this one. I can't help and be inspired. All I do all day is look at template designs and god knows when the revisions will stop!
These days, too much, that the marketing people wanted to have the last say or control on the layout that something like this cannot not be created. Too much of Photoshop this and that... They simply lack the imagination and such vision to create something which cannot be written in a project brief and the artist is left to struggle to guess visual interpretation.

Gerald Scarfe was involved in pretty much all the art in this movie. He did this poster.
Watch the movie. A significant proportion of it is hand drawn animation by Gerald Scarfe:

@EK, I don't know what happened to me, I seem to miss those Rock & Roll mind-bending-high-octane sound tripping. I knew them alright, just because Fine Arts major are full of Rock & Roll fanatics and what do you call that... groupies? ;)
I some how ended up with preppies than street-banging hardcore dock martens slamming guitar wielding artistic rock and rollers.
Now I listen to my kids MP3 of One Direction! Twilight-Zone it is...

Gray dude, you haven't listened to Pink Floyd?
Man, where have you been, these guys pioneered and literally are unique in a rock world sense, absolute gods! LOL
Anyway, all of their album covers are good, but I agree with you this particular one, is a really fine piece of art!

I disagree, David.
Try playing with one of these:

Awesome experience. Beats normal sketches any time, if you ask me.

I've joined LinkedIn Group, Communication Arts (CA) and from what I've been reading even in the US, Art Directors and Creative Directors are a dying breed mainly on smaller agency, graphic design studios and those Agency that don't have a multimillion accounts
Everything need to be out their fast and has to be change again in a couple of months – Marketing Blitz with a short span of marketing exposure. I understand that this is how it is now. A marketing gimmick which have a short span of effectivity makes the company careless on visual quality. Budget rules and in the end it dictates creativity.

At good ad agencies I've worked for, creative directors would never allow art directors to present computer-generated layouts to start. They had to present pencil sketches for concepts. I do think computers constrain creativity and visual thinking. And, they say if you draw with your left hand you'll activate the more creative right side of the brain. Computers are likely making us less creative.
