Célebre por seus trabalhos para bandas como Pink Floyd, 10cc, Dream Theater, The Mars Volta, Muse e The Cranberries. Em 2004 foi destaque na exibição Taken by Storm, realizada na galeria John Martin, em Londres, onde foram expostos diversos de seus trabalhos para bandas. Em 2009 seu trabalho para o álbum The Division Bell, do Pink Floyd, virou selo postal.

Em 1968, junto com Aubrey Powell e posteriormente Peter Christopherson, ele fundou o grupo de design gráfico Hipgnosis, voltado para a criação de projetos gráficos para álbuns musicais. Entre os trabalhos do grupo está o conceito da capa de The Dark Side of the Moon (1973) do Pink Floyd, considerada uma das capas mais icônicas do rock. O grupo de design encerrou os trabalhos em 1983 e Thorgerson, junto com Powell, fundou a Greenback Films, produtora de vídeos musicais.
