The project for this class is to create a Riso artprint using a limited colour palette and prepare the files for printing.

To make the artwork, you can use Procreate or any digital drawing program, and later, when it comes to file set-up, we’ll be using Photoshop.

The last part of this project is optional, but highly recommended. Once you finish the artwork, send the files to a local Riso studio and create limited edition art prints.

//CLASS RESOURCES:

- Riso Colours - an entire range of available riso colours with matching hex codes to use when working on your art prints in a drawing program. These are just approximate digital references you can use. Keep in mind that the colour will always look a bit different when printed. For the exact colour reference, get a printed colour chart from a local Riso studio.

- Riso Inspiration - a Pinterest board collection with lots of Riso artwork to get inspired, find new ideas, and see what's possible with Riso printing.

- Riso Studios - a list of Riso studios all over the world. You can find a local Riso printing studio using this map.

//PROGRAMS USED:

- Procreate - this is where I made the Riso artwork

- Adobe Photoshop - this is where I set up the files for Riso printing
