Ian McCausland (31 March 1944 – 9 August 2022) was an Australian artist best known for his music posters.
Ian McCausland began his visual arts career in 1968 after winning a competition in Go-Set, an Australian music magazine.
[1] After Go-Set closed in 1974, Philip Frazer took several of their creative team to a new political publication called The Digger, including McCausland as Art Director.
[1] Following the closure of The Digger, McCausland worked for Planet, a weekly music newspaper which was started by Michael Gudinski and Ray Evans.
[1] The newspaper ran for two years until 1972,[2] but its founders formed Mushroom Records and McCausland joined them as the label's Art Director and designed their logo.
