RISOGRAPH

For the Risograph, we had to produce an illustration that was 200mm x 200mm with a 5mm bleed. The image would have to be in black and white and then our image could have a spot colour however, this would need to be done by hand. 

The class was separated into groups of about six. Each group was then given a title which each student then had to create an illustration in response to the title that was given. Our group was given the title “Health”. 

Initially, I wanted to create an illustration inspired by old anatomical drawings of internal organs, muscles, bones etc. 

After looking at these images, I decided that I wanted to create something that showed that with being an illustrator and being primarily at a desk most of the day, our posture was being affected. 

With this in mind, I decided that I want my illustration to show a skeleton at a desk sketching. 

Final Piece 

I am quite happy with the way my illustration turned out. I think that I could have used darker ink when apply the colour to my image to create a greater contrast and shadows on my image.
