Risograph Technique: Design a Self-published Editorial Project
“Here we are at the end of this Domestika course. Thank you for following me this far! As a course project, you will have to make a photo book.

Then familiarize yourself with the Risograph technique, exploring some concepts related to the management of the graphic field and packaging techniques. Once you are confident, develop your final project: using Adobe software, carry out the necessary steps for the design, up to the print files required by Risograph. And if at first it all seems a bit difficult, follow our case study but remember that even the smallest detail can make the difference! The beauty is that from the use (even improper) of the risograph, objects of great editorial value can be born, both from a stylistic and technical point of view!

“Thank you for attending our lessons on the fascinating world of risograph printing; the course has now concluded. We tried to illustrate during the course that by mastering the appropriate techniques, you can creatively harness the risograph, surpassing its limitations. These limitations are often the key to your project's success. Together, we have delved into two essential core topics. The first was a focus on designing a self-published edition, which can be interesting for anyone with a project to share on paper. The second topic was about the risograph printing technique. Upon acquiring...”

A course by Atto
Sara Bianchi and Andrea Zambardi are the founders of Atto, a design and visual communication studio active since 2013. With a solid academic background in design, Sara and Andrea have gained extensive experience in the field of graphics, working on projects ranging from the creation of books and catalogs to visual identities for cultural institutions and companies. Their dedication to self-production has allowed them to explore new techniques and materials, enriching their design approach with continuous theoretical and formal research.
Since purchasing their first Risograph printer, Sara and Andrea have undertaken a path of experimentation that has led them to create limited editions, obtaining important awards such as the Silver Medal at the European Design Award for the Avant Garde project. Their expertise is not limited to printing, but extends to teaching graphics at prestigious schools in Milan. Inspired by figures such as Irma Boom and Jonathan Barnbrook, they integrate a balance between aesthetics and content in their work, aiming for visual communication that is both functional and engaging.
