Larry Vigon is an award-winning art director and designer who is credited for some of the most iconic album covers from the ’70s and ’80s. As a graduate from Art Center College of Design in 1972 Vigon set out to create a career in album cover design combining his love of music and art. For the next 20 years that is exactly what he did. He has designed over 200 albums and single sleeves for Fleetwood Mac, Eric Clapton, Counting Crows, Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, Chicago, Pat Benatar, Carol King, Sparks, Boney James, Thomas Dolby, and many more. Vigon has partnered with some of the greatest photographers of the late 20th century including Helmut Newton, George Hurrell, Joyce Tenneson, William Claxton, Peter Beard, and numerous others. After two decades of almost exclusively album cover work he branched out into corporate design including the clients IBM, Epson, The City of Los Angeles, Paramount Television, The Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas, The House of Blues, also Broadway posters, advertising campaigns, magazines and books, including C.G. Jung’s Red Book. Vigon's first book in 2006 DREAM A Journal was published by W.W. Norton, New York.
When Vigon is not working on commercial projects he enjoys creating personal art projects but often combines the two disciplines. His paintings are in private collections all over the world.
