In response to this gap, Loud was developed as an editorial publication that combines the credibility of contemporary design magazines with the expressive qualities of independent publishing. The primary deliverable is a 16-page magazine that presents critical writing, visual analysis, speculative redesigns, and hand-drawn illustration through a bold editorial system that embodies the ideas it explores. Supporting deliverables include a hand-illustrated sticker sheet that extends the publication's visual language and a condensed 16-page zine designed for distribution at the graduate exhibition.

Together, these outcomes demonstrate how publication design can serve as both a vehicle for critical discussion and an example of alternative design practice, proposing an editorial approach that balances professional structure with personality, cultural relevance, and visual expression.
