Overprint

An engine-agnostic style recipe: a wide hero, proof shots across subjects, and a portable prompt.

Prompt template
{subject}, rendered as a high-contrast risograph print: dense black-ink linework with crisp halftone-dot shading and fine engraved hatching, {palette}, a single luminous phosphor-green (#00ff66) ink layer slightly misregistered and offset over the black for a printed-archive feel, on a clean off-white paper ground, {composition}, the subject filling the frame edge to edge. Absolutely NO text, NO letters, NO words, NO numbers, NO logos.
Slot recipes
hero — The subject filling the full bleed edge to edge, dense and immersive, with the misregistered green overprint riding across the strongest forms.
feature — The subject large and centered, filling the frame, dense black hatching with the offset green layer reading as the highlight.
avatar — A tight three-quarter portrait of the subject, face filling the frame, engraved hatching in the shadows and a misregistered green overprint across the features.
empty-state — The subject rendered quietly but still filling the frame, lighter hatching, a single restrained green overprint.
illustration — A close study of the subject filling the frame, fine engraved linework and crisp halftone dots with one offset green overprint layer.

Do
  • · Apply the treatment to any subject, filling the frame edge to edge.
  • · Keep dense black linework and crisp halftone-dot shading with one misregistered phosphor-green overprint on off-white.
  • · Let the green layer sit slightly offset from the black for a printed-archive feel.
  • · Use fine engraved hatching to build shadow and volume.
Don't
  • · Render the apparatus (printer, press, page, or frame).
  • · Add any text, letters, or numbers.
  • · Use beige washes, gradients, or a second bright colour.
  • · Leave blank margins or empty negative space; the subject fills the frame.
