The article illustrates and Antonis refererences production of only this work as per screenshots in images 9-11, c/o article by Anna Lamche for Camden New Journal 26.06.23..

Storm Thorgerson:

"The design for Only Revolutions is partially based on the idea that revolutionary groups often bear a flag. Much of the album was colored by male/female dialectic, so the revolutionary flags became expressions of the anger and frustration that the couple could not display directly. Both parties carry behind their back instruments of harm - she a rolling pin, him a knife."

Storm Thorgerson (1944-2013) was an English graphic designer, known for his work for rock bands including Pink Floyd, 10cc, Muse, Genesis and Peter Gabriel. He was a key member of the British graphic art group Hipgnosis with Aubrey 'Po' Powell, and designed many of their most famous single and album covers. Perhaps Storms most famous design is for The Dark Side of the Moon, which has been called one of the greatest album covers of all time.

Hipgnosis went on to create hundreds of classic album covers over the next fifteen years for some of the best known rock bands of the second half of the 20th and early 21st centuries.
