+rosebud is a design magazine that operates with the desire to explore and exhaust the possibilities and potentials that paper and 2D- structure have to offer. The symbolic name, a derivation from the the last, mysterious word that the newspaper tycoon stammers out in Orson Welles' film classic "Citizen Cane", figuratively indicates that +rosebud is an attempt to explain the puzzle `medium' - keeping Welles' experimental spirit in mind. As an extremely energetic forum for creativity and design, +rosebud impresses with discreet, but progressive graphics, typography and photography, format and topics.

+rosebud no. 3 is subversively dedicated to the subject matter blind text. In general, the term blind text stands for a random, meaningless text that serves presentational layout purposes when the real text is not existent. The manifold facets of a blind text become clear through a load of eye candy, further through contributions on the topic by international authors, artists, academics and designers. Via form, structure and content, +rosebud no. 3 proves that a blind text's status reaches far beyond a variable parameter.
