The Risograph Collage Creator is a collection of 710 items containing images, doodles, characters, backgrounds, colors, gradients, actions, premade collages, one brush and a user guide.

All images, doodles and characters are transparent PNGs perfectly isolated with no background.

You’ll be able to create your own collages with a Risograph aesthetic for both web and printing projects in the image editor of your choice, although our User Guide is focused on Photoshop and some assets like the actions and the gradient palette are compatible with Photoshop only.

The actions and the gradient palette provided will allow you to apply the same aesthetic from Risograph Collage Creator images into your own images. The possibilities are infinite!

The color palette is provided both in a chart with hexadecimal values and in files that you can import on Illustrator and Photoshop. The gradients can also be imported on Photoshop.

You’ll also get 6 premade collages in PSD and JPG so you can use as examples or anyway you’d like!

But what on earth is a Risograph?

Risograph is a printing technique that has gained popularity in recent years due to its unique aesthetic appeal. The Risograph technique involves using a duplicator machine that uses a stencil to produce prints. The Risograph aesthetics are characterized by a distinct look that is a combination of various factors that are described below:

• Limited color palette: The Risograph technique uses a limited color palette. It is similar to screen printing, where each color is printed separately using a different stencil.

• Overprinting: The Risograph technique allows for the layering of colors, which results in unique color blends. By printing multiple layers of the same color or different colors, designers can create interesting and complex patterns.

• Halftone patterns: The Risograph technique creates a halftone pattern that gives the prints a unique texture. The halftone pattern is created by using tiny dots of ink that are spaced apart. The spacing between the dots can be adjusted to create different textures and effects.

• Registration errors: Due to the nature of the duplicator machine, registration errors are common in Risograph printing. These errors can result in slight misalignments between the colors, which can give the prints a handmade and imperfect look.

• Retro vibe: The Risograph aesthetics have a retro vibe that is reminiscent of the print techniques used in the 80s and 90s. The limited color palette, halftone patterns, and registration errors contribute to this retro aesthetic.
