The Sounds around Me

[Objective]

Interpret my personal experience through experimental approaches in typography. The book tells the story of the sounds of downtown San Francisco.

Living in downtown San Francisco, I am surrounded by the sounds of the city. Different times have sound components which formulate the moments of the city. I used experimental typographic elements and mono-color images to present the concept of the relationship between sound and city life.
