What is a poster? How do you make one? And why?
Join Hector Mosko, a graphic designer based in Lyon, France, for a hands-on workshop that takes you through the process of creating a bold, unique poster printed in Risograph. This workshop takes an analog approach to graphic design and will guide you through three key stages of poster creation: concept development, composition, and printing.
Join Hector Mosko, a graphic designer based in Lyon, France, for a hands-on workshop that takes you through the process of creating a bold, unique poster printed in Risograph. This workshop takes an analog approach to graphic design and will guide you through three key stages of poster creation: concept development, composition, and printing.
- In the first part of the workshop, Hector will share insights into his art practice and his obsession with collecting visual inspirations from decay and posters on the street. He’ll introduce you to new ways of thinking about design, offering fresh perspectives on the creative process. Through his stories and examples, you’ll learn how to approach design with curiosity, experimenting with different viewpoints to shape your own unique style.
- Next, you'll dive into the hands-on, gritty part of the process—sketching and composing your poster. Participants will learn how to create an abstract composition using purely manual techniques. This phase focuses on breaking down your preconceived ideas of what a poster “should” look like. You’ll explore how to deconstruct and reconstruct your design using analog methods, pushing beyond the boundaries of commercial graphic design to embrace creativity and experimentation. Through inking, transferring, drawing, and layering textures, you’ll learn how to compose a visual that feels unique and free from digital constraints.
- Ultimately, participants will learn the technical side of graphic design production to prepare their images for Riso printing. Using the layers you’ve created, you’ll scan, adjust, and print each one—layer by layer, color by color—without the use of a computer. You’ll work with two vibrant Riso colors, learning how to layer and align them for maximum impact. The result will be a one-of-a-kind, multi-layered poster that captures both your creative process and the hands-on techniques of graphic design.
By the end of this workshop, you’ll have experienced every step of the design process—from conceptualizing and sketching your idea to producing a finished printed piece. Whether you're new to graphic design or looking to refine your skills, this workshop will give you a deeper understanding of the craft, while allowing you to create a tangible, analog work of art.
