One spread in the book was printed on transparent paper. This paper can't be used in the Riso printer, because it is too smooth for this technique. Instead, I printed it with the Canon c600i. For this printer, you need to prepare a PDF file. Because this spread is folded in the book, I needed to prepare the file for the double-sided printing.

	The illustrations were created in procreate and exported as PSD ~~files~~ to preserve the layers (PDF with layer would also work).		Everyone has a different flow when working on the book. Here are the steps I took to create this particular book (leaving out the concept and content creation):<br>
			1. sketches

			2. the layout of the book <br>
			-add picture
			3. make illustrations<br>
			The illustrations were created in procreate. 8 spreads in the book were reprinted. Because of that, from the beginning, I was working on the separate layers for two colors I had in mind - Black and Fluo Orange. <br>

			From Procreate I exported files as PSD to preserve the layers (PDF with layer would also work).

	<br><br>		4. Print a new dummy - adjust the layout and create a few extra illustrations<br>
	When you print with the ~~risoprinter~~, you pay for 1 master, which is the size of A3. Because of that, I prepared a document with 2 spreads on one paper.		-add picture
	[[File:Pages_riso_photoshop.JPG]]		5. Combine illustrations into spreads<br>
	To figure out the ~~placement~~, I first made a little dummy book and disassembled it to create a page 1 - side a and b for the spreads 10-11, 4-17,		[[File:Spread.JPG]]<br>
