         What makes a hit a hit? In Landeplage, DJ Ravi dives into the songs that have lodged themselves deep in Norway’s collective memory — dissecting one classic track per episode to uncover what gives it that staying power.

ii. Process & Result
         Visually, I created a stylised mash-up of Norwegian music nostalgia — a graphic homage to cassette culture, where boom boxes, VW Golfs, mixing desks, salty sea air, cabin life, mixtapes, and pencil-rewound cassettes all make an appearance. Each episode unfolds like a crate-digger’s dream: bold layouts, lo-fi textures, and rhythmic design echoing the era and emotion of the track in focus.

        It’s part music documentary, part visual mixtape — a love letter to pop, memory, and the joy of pressing play.
