Risograph dotted map and 3D globe look

Risograph

Pink + cyan ink, misregistered on purpose

Risograph imitates a two-ink riso print: fluorescent pink and federal blue layers offset by a few pixels for the misregistration glow, plus a paper-grain noise overlay that breaks up the flat areas. It gives you the slightly off look of a riso print without a riso machine. The split control sets how far off register the layers are (zero is a clean two-color print, higher values look wildly off-register), and intensity goes from a soft riso toward full saturation. Use the flat view for editorial spreads or the globe view for headers and section openers.
