Keeping your child recognisable
The grainy two-colour overlap keeps things simple, so consistent shapes and colours keep your child recognisable. That is the whole point of Once Books: you pick Risograph print once and it is locked to the book, so your child is the same child from the cover to the last page.

The Risograph print prompt
Want the Risograph print look yourself? Copy this style prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Gemini, Midjourney or any image tool — add it to any subject you like, nothing to edit.
Risograph print illustration, lo-fi two-colour riso print, visible paper grain and slight offset misregistration, flat limited spot colours, handmade print charm.
Avoid: smooth gradients, soft painterly shading, airbrushed, glossy, photorealistic, full-colour render, realistic lighting.
That gets you the look on a single image. The hard part is keeping the same child recognisable across a whole book — that’s what Once Books does. See how.
