MAGAZINE COVER: BOSTON'S STUFF MAGAZINE, NOVEMBER 1998 A simple Macintosh trash can, directed towards a society becoming dependent on machines. The Publisher liked it, the corporate executives in charge of the magazine's parent company (The Phoenix Media Communications Group) hated it. The cover was a departure from the magazine's earlier covers which tended to feature photographs or paintings by local fine artists. I received quite a bit of email about this cover, so it made some sort of statement, although most people had their own interpretations.
