CULTURED MAGAZINE

Fall 2025

This speculative project repositions cultured magazine from a publication that covers culture to one that drives it. My rebrand modernizes the system, updating the publication to create a space for culture that is both tense and refined, because progress cannot be made in comfort, and innovation shouldn’t sacrifice beauty. The issue I designed for CULTURED is a hypothetical “Adonis Issue” for pride month that honors the history of the LGBTQ+ community in magazines by naming the special edition after a prominent ‘beefcake’ magazine from the mid-20th century.
