The third issue of design magazine O.K. Periodicals was presented under great public interest at the Illustrative Festival in Berlin. What makes this edition so special is its cover, which is the collective design of hundreds of people from around the world.

First crowdsourced magazine cover in the world
The topic of the third issue of O.K. Periodicals is REPEAT. This is apparent from the content, the imagery and, most notably, the cover of the magazine. Hundreds of people have made their contribution by designing a small part of it, either manually or using the computer. The bizarre yet unique reproduction of the cover visually underlines the power of the online network. The result is the world’s first crowdsourced magazine cover.

The topic of this special issue will be broadly examined in both text and image. There is an intriguing story about a high-society murderer, human printers, repetitious trends and patterns in fashion, the daily experience of living with Tourette’s syndrome, illustrations of proverbs involving repetition, an interview with a Steven Spielberg lookalike, a repeating parakeet, and much, much more.

The rapidly growing and internationally acclaimed magazine O.K. Periodicals regularly uses crowdsourcing techniques, which enables it to show inspiring work by established and upcoming creative talent. For each edition, designers, illustrators, artists, scientists, writers and photographers from around the world send in their work, exploring themes such as collecting, failure and repetition. The result is a pleasantly confounding magazine that stimulates, surprises and penetrates, but above all, inspires.
