Being a 100% independent publication, the chief editors Klaas and Arne had all the freedom to do their Magazine exactly like they wanted to. Not having any directives from publishing houses or company’s CEOs, Boardstein brought fresh wind with their ideas and quickly became notorious for its open attitude, that they printed in massive amounts of texts in size 6-8 font.
