OBJECTIVE
The objective of this project was to design a chapbook using the transcript of a podcast.
“Beware the Jabberwock” is an episode of the This American Life podcast. Throughout the episode, Ira Glass relays the story of how a conspiracy theory affects real lives, followed by the origin story of the loudest conspiracy theorist of our time: Alex Jones.
The visual system was inspired by computer programming language, using HTML tags to identify the speaker throughout the podcast transcript. The images were styled to appear as monochrome in a deep maroon color.
