Risograph printing

A Risograph printer is an exciting piece of duplication technology. They create a thermographic master for each colour in your artwork which is then wrapped around a drum. Ink is forced through the voids in the master. The paper runs flat through the machine while the drum rotates at high speed to print each image on the paper. This means that they can produce high quality prints using special colour ink on a range of papers, quickly and inexpensively. Below are a few samples i have acquired of some risograph printing. I am considering using risography as a print process within the project, possibly as a means to printing the packaging/presentation

Personal letters

For my image and text I want to explore the personal things people send to each other through various mediums, such as here; letters. Its fascinating looking at peoples letters to each other in the past, how they worded things, how they wrote etc.
