Teen Magazine Museum
Teen Magazine Museum is a digital nostalgia project that celebrates the analog teen magazines of the 80s, 90s, and 00s. Using a storytelling lens, the project analyzes the role magazines like Seventeen, Sassy, Teen, and YM played in the lives of millions of Gen X and Millennial women, and traces their interplay with pop culture and girl culture.
