Pretty Ugly Magazine

SVA MFAD, Type for Masters Team Project

Book, Sticker, Packaging, 2022

Role in charge: Directed font and layout system, design of 3 articles, photographed and edited the final product.

Our magazine is a departure from the traditional emphasis on beauty in a consumer-driven world. Instead, it celebrates the stories, communities, and artists behind objects and concepts typically deemed unappealing.

Our aim is to showcase the charm and emotion behind these often-overlooked elements, underlining that “weird” or “unattractive” doesn’t mean it’s not beautiful. The magazine speaks to millennial creatives who appreciate the artistry of Kitsch and Camp, presenting a unique perspective on beauty and art. With a book, stickers, 3D printed objects, and packaging, the ‘Pretty Ugly Magazine’ offers a tactile experience that invites readers to explore and engage with our unconventional vision.
