the forbidden garden
[blnk] is the zero issue of the magazine all about the future of design, lifestyle, fashion and architecture. The name [blnk], which is derived from the English "blank" and means "empty", refers to the future that needs to be shaped, the story(s) that first need to be written. The text design, for example, is oriented to the content, so text blocks in the architecture section reflect building structures, while three-dimensional words refer to three-dimensional digital art or sculptures. To counter habits, there are also contributions that have to be rotated by 90°. They make the reader see the content haptically as well as visually from a different angle.

The square brackets become a design feature of the magazine, are already an element of the cover and underline the focus on the not-yet-final of what is to come. Creative, active and individual, using new ideas, clear standpoints & principles for a better future - these are the main values of the independent magazine. These basic ideas are reflected in its design and language, which often deliberately breaks with traditional creative means without completely losing its reference to an order or even becoming an end in itself.
