Regarding on the style part, I am planing to try pixel style plus some ‘riso’ typography style. Because I feel that people's life is a splicing of items, and displaying these items using pixels can make the audience feel more connected with the relationship between people and items.
Riso
Riso printing is exclusively spot color based. Unlike digital printing, there is no option to print in standard ink colors like CMYK. This means the creative possibilities with color are endless.
All of Riso’s inks are vegetable oil-based. Riso ink dries through absorption into uncoated paper stock rather than through heavy chemical dryers or heat. Because of this, power consumption remains very low throughout the printing process.
The Riso drum is simply removed from the machine, the stencil is discarded, and the drum is stored until the next use. Combine the above with the use of FSC certified and high post-consumer waste recycled papers, Riso is an environmentally conscious and sustainable print process.
I think an eco-friendly design style like riso matches my theme very well, which is all about reusing objects. And riso is full of uncertainty when printing layer by layer. Just as many objects bring many surprises or troubles in our life, and in any case, each object will imprint some mark in our life.
Greg Meade | Habitats Print Studio: Habitats; Terrace of the Future on the Refuse of the Past
Habitats; Terrace of the Future on the Refuse of the Past was originally conceived after a visit to the Wellcome Collection, London. Bringing the idea of revisiting the concept of terraced housing in the modern age, Greg wanted to create a piece that reflected the trend of reclaiming “the refuse of the past” relating to the post-industrial landscape surrounding his current studio base “…which is becoming a melting pot of contemporary domestic architecture, with the major architectural players competing for land“.
Sebastian König: Today we cancel everything!
Today we cancel everything! is a spiral bound children’s book limited to 100 copies on metapaper printed by the Berlin Riso printer Drucken 3000 and illustrated by Sebastian Koenig. This twenty-four paged two-coloured Riso printed book tells the story of Wim, a boy who doesn’t want to go to school in the morning. His father understands this well, and so the whole family stays at home and coincidentally all of the people in the city do the same.
Lol Gallimore: Everything Is Copy
Everything is Copy is a Riso printed publication with French fold binding by Lol Gallimore. It features an assortment of mottos and scribbles Lol accumulated in her sketchbooks over a couple of years. The books were organised in a random manner, with all three copies having the same content, but put together in a different order than the rest.
Lol started this project towards the end of her studies in response to a confusing time she was experiencing. She intended for it to be a tool for herself for sentimental purposes, not to be seen by anyone. “I wanted it to be a joyful expression of typography and colour. Not focused on making it particularly precise, I let the Risograph lead the way” states Lol. The resulting publication is fun and playful, with a combination of fluorescent paper and vibrant inks.
“I used Risograph because of the nature of the machine; speedy, experimental and charming” explains Lol. There’s an element of unpredictability when printing with Riso, and for Lol this printing method produced some happy accidents. The book became something people were picking up and flicking through, and ended up being one of her favourite projects.
