Broken Design: An Ode to Imperfection in Graphic Culture

By Nazareth Kawakami

Rough edges, handmade textures, and deliberate imperfections have become one of the defining aesthetics of contemporary graphic design. But where did this visual language come from? Drawing on two decades of work by Monster Children and creative director Campbell Milligan, Broken Design traces the rise of an influential graphic culture shaped by experimentation, intuition, and the courage to embrace mistakes. A compelling visual history of design beyond perfection.
