The Risolution

  • Alice Prentice

The Risolution is a website offering free opensource guides to tackle common mental health issues as well as promote Riso printing. The first guide combines Riso printing and stress management, all in one handy pocket-sized guide. The PDF layers of the Riso print can be downloaded from the website and printed on a Riso printer with any three inks. The guides can also be downloaded instantly to a user’s phone, so they can carry it in their pocket, even if they can’t actually make it themselves. The project focuses on how being creative can be beneficial for mental health, especially working with something ‘hands-on’ like the Riso Printer. The future intentions of the website are to have more guides for depression and anxiety, for example, and a blog to report on events, stories and articles on mental health.
