This year’s magnificent cover was made in collaboration with Marko Babić, otherwise known as Artplakata. What is Artplakata? A tremendously creative love letter to the neglected aspects of daily life in our cities, that’s what. Artplakata aims to breathe new life into ignored pieces of architecture and the rest through art, and we’re happy to say that Artplakata more than succeeds. Photo: Marko Babić
