Read the full brief every model received
Build **Riso** — a generative poster machine. Every time the visitor clicks "generate," it composes a fresh, one-of-a-kind art print on screen, in the spirit of risograph printing: a few bold spot colors, slightly mis-registered layers, visible texture and grain, strong geometric shapes, and confident typography. No two should ever be the same.
What it should do:
- Generate a genuinely different poster on each click — varying the composition, the color combination, the shapes, and the words — using randomness with taste, so results feel designed rather than noisy.
- Treat **type as a first-class element**: a headline (pull from a pool of evocative phrases, or generate them), set with real typographic care, integrated into the composition rather than dropped on top.
- Evoke the risograph look — limited ink palettes, layered overprint where colors overlap and mix, paper texture, that handmade-print imperfection — all produced in code.
- Let the visitor keep generating, and ideally download or at least keep the current poster.
Randomness is the medium here, but the bar is that a designer would be happy to pin any given output to the wall. The register is bold, tactile, and printerly. Draw everything with canvas/SVG/CSS; no external images, fonts loaded from the network are fine only if truly needed, otherwise use system/web-safe type creatively.
This challenge stresses **creative coding and generative aesthetics** — composition, color, type, and controlled randomness.
All design decisions — the generative system, palettes, shapes, typography, copy — are yours. There is no single right answer; make something with a point of view.
