Outcome


The final publication functions more like a supportive companion than a traditional magazine. Blocked offers gentle guidance, practical tips, and conversational reflection that an artist can keep by their side during tough creative moments. Instead of preaching solutions, it speaks with the reader — validating their frustrations, offering small steps forward, and reminding them that the block is temporary.

It becomes something you can flip through when you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure, giving you both comfort and useful ways to move through the fog.
