OK Periodicals #3 features new and innovative ideas, editorial and design wise. One of them is the crowdsourced cover. Hundreds of people recreated the cover bit by bit. Each person got one square that needed to be recreated.

Sometimes it seems we are running around in circles. Sometimes things are better second time around. Repetition can be agonizing and hypnotic. In fashion, music, art and economy there seem to be recurring trends. Evolution is based on tiny variations in infinitely repeated loops. Patterns from nature inspire designers. In which way is repetition influencing you?

Next to contributions by invited top visual and theoretical creatives, a large part of the subjects was crowdsourced with an international call for art. Subjects include human printers, Gille de la Tourette syndrome, illustrations about repetitive sayings, patterns in fashion, Japanese karaoke singers, an in-depth interview with a Steven Spielberg look-a-like and a talking parakeet.
