Risotto- Printing




On the last day of placement the main focus was printing the designs that I had been developing throughout the week. I finished tweeking the poster and experimented with a variety of colour of variations, once I had choosen colours to work with and ones that overlay well, I then split the designs up into two layers, as the design shall be coloured in two colours. The design was split up as if I was going to screen print it. The same was done for the notebook features, final tweaking, colour development and splitting up the design into two layers. I printed them both on the riso printer for two colours, the designs for burnt onto the screen inside and printed various times on various types of stock to experiment with. Overal I am really happy with the designs I have produced, the poster works well and will hopefully get more students to use riso. I am really surprised with how well the yearly calander has come out as the type was so small, I printed these on a natural thick stock which I think has worked best, as you can see the grain through some of the inks.
