Riso: Visual Thoughts is a publication designed, printed and bounded by the students of Digital Laboratory II, which results from a set of visual exercises developed around the process of risographic printing.

Designed, printed and bounded by students, Riso: Visual Thoughts is a publication that brings together a set of visual exercises developed around the process of risographic printing.

Throughout 184 pages, students try to express their thoughts visually, test different graphics in search of an author record, or simply experience technique as a preponderant part of a creative process. Color, shape and texture define a varied visual lexicon, establish dialogues in the overlapping of circular patterns, create vibrant visual tensions and, under a graphic expression derived from the printing technique used, interconnect the various visual approaches of this graphic object.

Risography is a digital printing process of medium circulation, which is characterized by a graphic expression lo-fi and handmade. The imperfections in color matching, density variations between prints and the tactile visual effect close to manual printing processes give a unique character to each copy. It is presented as a sustainable process, using ecological and energy efficient paints.

This project was developed by the students of the 2nd year of the Degree in Communication Design, within the scope of the Digital Laboratory II course, focused on the introduction of concepts about digital, in areas such as print design, editorial design, where the ambivalence between digital and analog is a constant.
