The magazine is intended for youth and young adults, and tries to break conventions by incorporating a motif of diagonal lines throughout the publication.

This book takes the two vital parts of senses, and seeks to find the interrelations between graphic design and music.

Many elements of graphic design are akin to the elements found in music: technical aspects such as line, space, scale, colour, grids and patterns can be paralleled with elements of music such as pitch, rhythm and dynamics. With this unique correlation, we were able to give form to musical elements or translate music back to the graphic. Each grouping of the design pieces throughout the book tells a definite narrative that reflects the era and country to which it belongs. A group project with Vince Lo, and Eunji Choi.
