Editorial design for a youth and culture magazine

Pengguin created the art direction and publication design for Breakazine 072, a 2023 print issue by Breakthrough. Centered on the theme “Aesthetics, Try Me,” the magazine explores beauty not as a lifestyle guide, but as a reflection on how aesthetic appreciation can be dulled by routine and vulgarity. The project invites readers to rediscover beauty in Hong Kong through street aesthetics, clothing, personal style, and everyday cultural surroundings, using editorial design to frame beauty as an active pursuit rather than a passive preference.
