= Broos/ Hefting p.202-203: "Hard werken was de naam van het maandblad dat een groep ontwerpers in Rotterdam in 1978 oprichtte. De groep - Gerard Hadders, Rick Vermeulen, Willem Kars, Henk Elenga, Tom van den Haspel en Jan Willem de Kok - kwam voort uit de grafische Werkplaats van de Rotterdamse Kunststichting. (...)
