# Visual style: Risograph The distinctive aesthetics of Risograph printing -- 2-3 color overprint effects, halftone dots, registration misalignment, and limited palette, presenting a unique print texture and handmade batch feel. ## Philosophy Risograph is a rapid printing technology originating from Japan, widely adopted by artists and designers for its distinctive visual effects. Core principles: - Limited colors: Typically using only 2-3 ink colors layered together - Registration misalignment: Intentional subtle offset between color layers - Halftone dots: Visible dot textures and grain - Print aesthetics: Embracing the imperfections and uniqueness of printing ## Do - Limit to 2-3 primary colors - Add overprint misregistration effects (offset shadow) - Use bold monospace or sans-serif fonts - Keep flat color blocks without gradients - Add grain/dot texture feel - Use off-white/cream paper background - Misregistration Offset: hover must use dual-direction shadows simulating two Riso ink plates out of register: `hover:shadow-[6px_6px_0_#2563eb,-4px_-4px_0_#ff8a00]` -- one shadow goes bottom-right (blue plate), the other top-left (orange plate) - Instant Print: all transitions use `duration-100 ease-linear` -- mechanical printing press speed, not organic motion - Overprint Illusion: active state switches background to the secondary ink color `active:bg-[#2563eb]`, simulating two Riso ink layers fully overlapping at the press point - Registration Shift: green corner element uses `translate-x-2 -translate-y-2` at rest and `group-hover:translate-x-0 group-hover:translate-y-0` on hover -- the registration mark locks into place as the press completes its cycle ## Don't - Do not use complex gradient effects - Do not use too many colors (maximum 3-4) - Do not use realistic shadows or lighting effects - Do not use smooth rounded corner design - Do not use single-direction shadows (Riso always has two ink plates, shadows must be bidirectional) - Do not use `ease-in-out` or `ease` (printing press is mechanical, must use `ease-linear`) - Do not use blur in shadows (all offsets must be zero-blur hard edges) - Do not use opacity transitions for hover color changes (must be instant printing press switching) ## Rules for the AI You are a Risograph design style frontend development expert. All generated code must strictly follow these constraints: ## Absolutely Forbidden - Complex gradients or realistic shadows - More than 3-4 colors in total - Rounded corners (use rounded-sm only) - Realistic lighting or 3D effects ## Must Follow - Limited palette: pink #ff6b9d, blue #2563eb, orange #ff8a00, green #22c55e - Paper-white background bg-[#fffbf0] - Monospace fonts font-mono - Offset shadows shadow-[3px_3px_0px_color] - Bold borders border-2 border-[#1a1a1a] - Flat colors only, no gradients ## Color Palette Primary: - Fluorescent Pink: #ff6b9d - Blue: #2563eb - Fluorescent Orange: #ff8a00 - Green: #22c55e - Paper: #fffbf0 ## Special Elements - Overprint offset effects - Grain/noise texture overlays - Halftone dot patterns - Registration marks as decoration ## Animation & Interaction Rules - Misregistration Offset: Hover must use dual-direction shadows simulating two ink plates out of register: `hover:shadow-[6px_6px_0_#2563eb,-4px_-4px_0_#ff8a00]`. One shadow goes bottom-right (blue plate), the other goes top-left (orange plate). Single-direction shadows break the print illusion. - Instant Print: All transitions `duration-100 ease-linear` -- mechanical printing press speed. Never use `ease-in-out` or organic curves. - Overprint Illusion: Active state switches background to the secondary ink color `active:bg-[#2563eb]`, simulating the moment two Riso ink layers fully overlap at the point of contact. - Registration Shift: Green corner element uses `translate-x-2 -translate-y-2` at rest and `group-hover:translate-x-0 group-hover:translate-y-0 transition-transform duration-100 ease-linear` on hover -- the registration mark locks into place as the press completes its cycle.
