The term "Studio Practice" not only describes the place where art and design are created. It also refers to the complex process between thinking and creating in which creativity is made possible on a daily basis. Every artist and every designer works differently, follows different routines and is inspired by different things, places and encounters. New works are created and formed from ever new sources.We talk to artists and graphic designers about the routines and techniques they use to shape their daily work and surprise themselves time and again. A magazine full of inspiring examples that takes readers on a journey to and through very different studio practices.Some Magazine is a visual culture publication that offers a behind-the-scenes look at the "invention of images" and is aimed at artists and designers. It is written, designed and produced by design and art students under the direction of Prof. Sven Völker and is an integral part of the experimental graphic design seminar at the University of Applied Sciences in Potsdam. Perhaps due to its dynamic nature as a student project, Some Magazine has successfully established itself in the indie magazine scene over the years.

For over one hundred years, we humans of the post-postmodern times have turned ourselves into outstanding visual athletes. We made visuality our superpower. Now we are about to change the rules of the game right in the middle of it. Will all this result in some new weird kind of blindness?This issue of Some Magazine is dedicated to the skill, the craft and the pure joy of looking!With contributions by Blatant Space, Catelijne van Middelkoop, David Horvitz, Eleonora Marton, Melody "LeMoon" Bossan and Rob Lowe.
