Our team project was a collaboration with designers Ji Young Kim, Devina Sarawgi, and Yongkang Ceng. Together, we created a magazine named Pretty Ugly, inspired by the kitschy millennium aesthetic. This publication explores the origins of this unique style and examines its impact on the design world.

“In a world driven by consumerism and beauty standards, our magazine stands apart. Pretty Ugly celebrates the charm and emotion behind objects typically deemed unattractive. It's a platform for millennial creatives, embracing Kitsch and Camp artistry, reminding us that beauty is subjective and unconventional.”
