Firming up the design for this edition’s cover was an agonising affair. Many different creative concepts and layouts were tried — and junked. And just when we had given up all hope, Dinesh Krishnan, our never-say-die Director-Photography, discovered celebrated photo-journalist Gary Knight’s bone-chilling image, just hours before the edition was to be packed off to the press.
