The Landlord’s Game

In this unique project brief I was asked to create a graphic transcript of a randomly assigned podcast episode and create a print publication based on the episode. This a transcript of Episode 189, The Landlord’s Game, of the podcast 99% Invisible that told the history of the game Monopoly.

My design was created through the use of complex grids and expressive typography to create a dynamic and engaging representation of the podcast episode. I explored how to effectively combine image and type, and how typographic systems can shape and enhance the narrative of the content. I was inspired by game design from the early 1900’s, vintage trends in color and type, and art deco ornamentation.
