For the February 2020 issue covering the topic »Bars & Drinks« we were asked to design a cover that incorporates the aesthetics, stories and experiences of a good bar. While waiting for her date at a classic Munich bar, Janina Engel started scribbling the people around her. She met interesting bar tenders who were showcasing the art of mixology, men and women having a well deserved drink after a hard day of work, the local drunk sipping his 6th beer, the wine connoisseur who wouldn't stop talking about the complex taste of his favorite bourdeaux, and the young couple on their very first date. Who would have known, that all you need is a napkin and a pen to come up with the perfect cover for this issue.
