OUGD602 - Exhibition - The One Who Looks

The One Who Looks at
Colours May Vary
A collection of Risograph prints produced by a number of designers

Risograph Printing

- Released in Japan in 1986
- When printing or copying many duplicates of the same content, it is typically far less expensive per page than a conventional photocopier, laser printer or inkjet printer.

Fashion Publication Research

Whilst at Colours May Vary, I took the opportunity to explore the varied selection of publications they have on display. They have an amazing collection of editorials that cover a whole range of subjects.

I will be revisiting this store when I get round to designing my own publication as it is a great source of inspiration.
