A Font for the Future
A design and Riso print workshop by Anja Lutz and the PrintRoom team
Using contributions from the book On the Edges of Graphic Design from A—Z—∞ as a starting point, you will develop your own hypotheses, speculations, and visions about the future of design. We will then translate these ideas into a system of signs, create a simple font and produce an A3 poster (digital or analog).
It is going to be a fun, quick and dirty workshop that aims at drawing out our creative vision for future forms of communication.You’ll go home with 10 riso-printed posters of your own A – Z!
About PrintRoom’s Riso Lab
Risograph or Riso printing is a unique form of high speed stencil printing, which is somewhere between lo-fi screen printing and hi-tech digital printing.
Riso printing is used for producing books, zines, flyers, posters and more. With Riso, each ink is printed one at a time. Colours rarely line up perfectly on top of each other. This is an inherent part of the process which makes every print unique, and gives Riso its distinctive look.
Riso is fast, relatively cheap and environmentally friendly. It allows you to make around 8000 prints per master.
Riso at PrintRoom
PrintRoom has A3 machines with double drum. We offer 20 colours for printing:
Bright Red — Red — Orange — Black — White — Yellow — Teal — Blue — Aqua — Green — Med Blue — Purple — Burgundy — Metallic Gold — Flat Gold — Fluo Pink — Fluo Green — Sunflower — Violet.
PrintRoom has a variety of Munken and Biotop paper to choose from. We also provide cutting, folding and binding services.
Over the years, many artists and designers have printed and published their projects together with our Riso experts at our facilities. Most of the publications can be found in our shop.
