The Trial 

Art Direction and Book Design.

In Prague at the start of the 20th century, Josef K. finds himself involved in a strange legal process. The Trial by Franz Kafka presents the byzantine and bewildering journey Josef K. is subjected to by the authorities and forces he can hardly begin to grapple with.

The book comes with a hard cover in black binding board, white serigraphic details and cloth-covered spine. Besides Kafka’s work, the design was inspired by optical art and The Blank Signature, a painting by René Magritte.
