Walkmanisms is a year-long design school project around the Walkman and portable cassette players and how they changed the way we experience music and listening in general.
It includes three texts centered around the topic with the main one being The Walkman Effect by Shuhei Hosokawa.
The layout is asymmetrical and left-aligned with an uneven right edge, and the literary references sit on the left, so as not to disturb the flow of the reader. The iconography is centered around a visual metaphor of two sounds - two ambiances - existing at the same time, one on top of the other, drowning out the exterior environment, but not completely.
