Composing the image
1. Print your text as separate pieces (titles, paragraph, quotes etc. in black n’ white)
- make sure you choose different styles for the paragraphs, titles, quotes.
2. Use the collage technique for placing the images and texts. 3. Mark the middle of your page
- by folding it or drawing a light pencil line
4. Plan your layout of the texts and images.
Prepare the design for RISO printing
- Plan colors per piece > plan the layers of colors: (which piece on which layer).
- separate the elements in smaller pieces;
RISO printing
- Arrange the 1st color layer on the 4 pages.
- remove the content that you want to only appear with the second color
- tip: Tape down the first color layer with clear tape before removing the second layer (that way you make sure that everything will be well aligned throughout the printing process)
- Make the first master > print 25 copies
- Arrange the 2nd color layer - remove /leave content according to your planning.
- make sure you are placing the paper the same direction as you did on your first layer
- to avoid ruining your prints always make sure to test print the master
- Make master in new color > print 2nd layer to the first 25 prints.
- Repeat the (2 layered) process for the other side of the paper.
- make sure you turn your page on the short edge!
- If you want, you can challenge yourself with a third color. The more colors - the more combinations!
