Karya Margareth-Unlimited-Visual Making Project
These two artworks explore the sustainable design possibilities of risographic printing by celebrating its inherent charm. The goal is to communicate risograph as a sustainable medium which has distinctive characteristics, e.g. overprint, overlapping, halftone, impreciseness, and child-like colors that can merge into each other, producing secondary color. These two designs depict risograph’s character as shadow. Shadow can overlap, and in risography, it changes color (becomes darker) when overlapping with other shadows. The main design elements here are type and color fields which are integrated by way of inversion and fusion. Shadow is being inversed as type, and then bodytexts are fused into the flow of the three dimensional type’s (negative) space. These two artworks humbly honors the distinctive character of risograph, a testament to the beauty of sustainable graphics that embraces imperfection.
