Intro Inspiration: I wanted to create a practical use for my Riso animation so after our first class and hearing the brief I reached out to a few artists over IG to see if anyone needed new album/single art and proposed my idea to create one using the Risograph machine. For this, I used both… Continue reading An Experiment in Album Art with the✨ Riso ✨

Week 1 Assignment-Kristina You
For the first assignment I decided to create a simple sketch on p5.js which two images that I layered to be printed in different colors and also added an animated factor as well. For the ‘O’ of the cascading text I wanted there to be movement and opacity that would be in motion once captured… Continue reading Week 1 Assignment-Kristina You
Assignment 1 – shengli
呼氣 吸氣 (breathe out, tune in) is an exploration of movement and experimental typography, and pays homage to the moody feeling I associate with California. The background video is my friend sticking her hand out of the car window on the way home from watching a sunset in Oakland. The text is generated with WebGL… Continue reading Assignment 1 – shengli
Week 2 & 3 Assignment
The original animation was created in After effects using some chrome colours. Then created contact sheets from the frames. The frame rate was reduced to ~20fps. Final scans of fluorescent pink and blue. Final Animations
Week 1 Assignment
I started out by creating a background with Adobe Illustrator. Just testing out some textures I could create with thin lines. I then used this texture as a background in p5js and added circle dots as cutouts. I tried printing in green and blue. The first few passes didn’t show up very well, but starting… Continue reading Week 1 Assignment
Animating Riso
Animating Riso contact sheets was a very fun process. See my experiments here!
HW 1 – Risograph Animation
So I learned how to print (and fail) on a risograph machine! The process was tedious but rewarding, so buckle up: Final Animation link to p5js sketch Designs I’ve been wanting to do a smiley face animation sequence for a while. I designed a set of 5 frames of smiley faces that when put together… Continue reading HW 1 – Risograph Animation
Assignment 1-Ericka
For this first assigment I used an animation by one of my favorite animators Vewn for this exercise. First I took the video into photoshop and determined the frame rate of the video to adjust the amount of frames to fit 50 frames in two sheets. After I saved the frames I automated a contact… Continue reading Assignment 1-Ericka
Week 1 – Riso Print Cutout
In our first week, we were assigned to play with the p5.riso library to create a cutout in an image. To get familiar with the library, I created a test sketch to see what the words would look like when cut out of the image. Unfortunately, my words weren’t cut from the image like I… Continue reading Week 1 – Riso Print Cutout
HW 1 – shengli
link to sketch On coding: In a non-risograph context, I would use lerpColor() to generate a gradient between two colors on the grid. However, when using the p5.riso library, lerpColor() will not work, as the color (or opacity) is determined by the fill() which needs to be attached to the name of the layer. I’m… Continue reading HW 1 – shengli
HW 1- What’s Your Price?
For my first jab at the risograph printer I used p5.js to generate this image of a Barcode of the current Dow Jones Stock Market index with a text cut out of the question “What’s Your Price?”. When we were first given the assignment I knew right away that I wanted to play around with… Continue reading HW 1- What’s Your Price?
Week 3 – riso animation final
Riso animation final blog post here!
Assignment 1 – retaining the scanned image quality
For the riso animation assignment, I decided to use this video I took on a trip to Jeju Island with my family and friends. This was taken on a ferry to a nearby smaller island, and it is one of my most cherished memories. During our workshop with Kelly, she showed us a simple way… Continue reading Assignment 1 – retaining the scanned image quality
HW1 – cutout with 2 images
For the cutout homework, I decided to work with two images. I got this idea from a mistake I made while taking film photography – I accidentally reused a finished roll, and created a double exposure like this below. Most of the images were strange, but I realized that when there’s a large solid area… Continue reading HW1 – cutout with 2 images
Assignment 1 – Ruoxi
For assignment 1, Riso animation, I found a 2-second colorful motion graphic on the Internet and tested many color combinations. Finally, I chose the red-blue combination for printing. The effect is as follows. Then I put the image into photoshop to saturate it slightly and create an inverted version because the inverted colors are super… Continue reading Assignment 1 – Ruoxi
HW 1 – Ruoxi
For homework 1, we need to print a monochrome image. I used p5.js to create a magazine-style toothpaste poster, but at first, I didn’t understand the “cutout” relationship, so the printed image had no background. After troubleshooting, the final result is as follows. Although the print saturation is not as high as that generated by… Continue reading HW 1 – Ruoxi
