Riso maze: a blue and pink truchet pattern with off-register ink
Quarter-circle truchet tiles link into a maze that never quite repeats, drawn in riso blue and fluorescent pink on cream paper. The tiles are packed tight, Spacing 110 with Weight 60, so the curves read as thick ribbons. A pink eight-point star with radial symmetry anchors the right side, and the Riso texture runs hot at 70 opacity with a blue Tint and an Offset of 8, which gives the sheet its two-drum, slightly slipped look.
Make it yours
Open up the maze
The paths are dense because Spacing sits at 110, close to its minimum of 100. Move it to 170 and reduce Weight from 60 to 35 for a thinner, airier labyrinth that can run behind a pricing table or a long form.
Swap the second ink
Secondary foreground and the star's Primary color are both fluorescent pink. Replace the pair with a warm yellow and keep Tint on the same blue as Foreground, so the overprint still looks believable with the new ink.
FAQ
How is the risograph effect in Riso maze created?
The Riso texture takes the finished artwork, floods it with the Tint color, shifts it by the Offset amount and multiplies it back over the original, then adds fine noise. With a blue tint and an offset of 8, every pink shape gains a blue ghost edge, like two print drums that did not quite line up.
How it works
Build the pattern
Pick a motif and a square, brick or hex layout, then set scale, spacing, weight, rotation, two pattern colors and a background.
Add a shape and a texture
Place one of 8 shapes with a solid, outline or gradient fill, then layer one of 9 textures with a blend mode and opacity.
Frame and use it
Choose a ratio from 1:1 to 9:16, preview it in hero, card and mobile layouts, then sign in with a free UX Pilot account to use it on the canvas or export it.
