To re-introduce the grunge subculture to a new generation, I designed Denial Magazine. The strategic challenge was balancing the loud, rebellious celebration of the music with a respectful, intimate tribute to Kurt Cobain's personal vulnerability.

Growing from material experiments with ink, paint, and found textures, I built every layout using analogue processes: cutting, scanning, layering, and printing onto textured stocks for a raw, physical presence. To control the reader’s psychological pacing, the grids are intentionally broken, shifting between heavy typographic compression and sudden openness to guide them through tension and nostalgia.

To extend this, I produced and directed a promotional motion trailer for a hypothetical film, ‘A Tribute: A Grunge Documentary’. Layering frantic handwriting and distorted archives, the video anchors a digital campaign driving email sign-ups through a limited-run print drop.
