Concept
With 60+ different print vendors and over 2,000 printmaking fans attending the single-day event, I wanted to create a design that spoke to a love of all things print. This is especially present in the poster and t-shirt design, depicting illustrations of various printmaking materials. With supplies ranging from a brayer to a silkscreen to a Risograph printer, this design pays homage to many different print disciplines.
The program and poster are printed on a Risograph printer, adding a bold color, texture and the signature "off-register" or misaligned look. We leaned into this feature of the Risograph in our design, embracing the imperfections you might find in alignment by intentionally misaligning some elements.
I worked within a small group of designers to decide on the overall design of the program, following the Off Register style guidelines. Typeface choices, color palette, and the visual display of the content were collaboratively decided on. My individual contributions included the illustration and design of the poster, the "Panels" page, and a t-shirt design for the volunteers.
