The logo with the TEX lion is sketched by Duane Bibby, https://mirror.ctan.org/
lion/files; the graphic of a header of a page is from the KOMA-Script documentation,
file scrlayer-scrpage.tex; the page layout image is done by using the package layout and
the command \layout and the red lines and red text added with a graphics program.
