Publication design for “The Lottery”, a 1948 dystopian short story by Shirley Jackson.

Taking inspiration from the formatting of court reports, the different voices of the story are separated into three columns: one for direct speech, one for the author’s narration, and one for third people commentary and observations. This allows to create a visual representation of where characters stand at every step of the tale, while also providing a unique rhythm and a swinging motion to maximize the involvement of the reader in the dark unfolding of “The Lottery”.

The whole piece uses JHA Times Now in one weight and size, creating hierarchy through the grid.

Project developed in the typography module of the Master in Visual Design at Elisava.
