All About LuckedOut ★
In recent years, we have noticed that the creativity in most graphic design is lacking. So, we wanted to take the steps to rekindle the lost relationship between media and whimsy that was so prevalent in the 2000s and earlier’s teen pop culture.
At LuckedOut, we strive to have fun with every task, no matter how tedious, and show that even the most outwardly mundane things can be wondrous.
Nyema Wagnerfounded LuckedOut in May 2025. The zine was originally titled Nyema’s Monthly Favorites, a monthly digital publication showcasing her favorite things from the corresponding release month. In July of 2025, Wagner changed the name to LuckedOut, and while the zine kept a similar topic, we wanted it to be broader; not just covering Wagner’s favorites from that specific month, but covering all things youth interests and trends. Because of that change, the zine went from publishing every month to publishing every summer.
It was quite the rebrand in a way, but we really love the zine community. That always motivates us to keep going.
LOZ’S History
Our Mission
Through LuckedOut, we only hope to connect people with shared interests and build a community. We mainly strive to recognize the ever-changing interests of the youth as a whole (what we call “trends”) and slow things down to truly analyze them. Music, fashion, media. All the things that we, the youth, consume is art. Yet, we don’t take the time to really appreciate them.
That is our goal with LuckedOut; to really dedicate time and bring attention to the things that are, or were once popular but forgotten in no more than a year. Everything that we consume offers so much more than what meets the eye, and we want to share that idea with the world.
