Notes

The following descriptive text, referencing the designer of the cover, appeared inside this RBA magazine, "This month's cover is by Alistair Morrison, one of the Australia's top designers who specialises in all brances of graphic art and typography. He was born in Melbourne, studied and worked in London and Europe for four years, and now lives in Sydney. In his spare time from designing, including work for overseas, he is an abstract painter."
