Hundreds of people collaborate to make design magazine cover

Some weeks ago we published a blogpost about the first crowdsourced magazine cover ever. This great idea was initiated by the the dutch magazine O.K. Periodicals.
Last week I got a mail from William van Giessen (O.K. Periodicals) and he sent us an image of this crowdsourcing-magazine cover.
He told us that hundreds of people submitted their ideas and that they thus were able to put together the cover in only one week! Amazing & Congratulations! It´s really beautiful!

More about the magazine and this issue:

The topic of the third installment 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.

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.
