ⓘ In my Color course, we were tasked with successfully printing a multi-color zine on a Risograph printer. The Risograph is a Japanese brand of digital to print duplicators manufactured by the Riso Kagaku Corporation and originally released in 1980. They are designed mainly for high-volume photocopying and printing, and loved for their unique printing quality.

This is usually the first step to occur after a pathogen has implanted itself in the host. The pathogen is attempting to attach itself to healthy cells, mutate them and multiply itself.
During this stage, invasion involves the dissemination of a pathogen throughout local tissues or the body. The exoenzymes/toxins they release allow them to break down and damage host tissues and spread deeper.
As the pathogen spreads, the host’s natural response is for the immune system to fight it off. Pathogens evolve and develop various methodologies, such as recombination of its genetic code, in an attempt to remain undetected.
During this stage, the body has successfully fought back against disease and symptoms resolve. In most cases, the host can return to their normal functions. This stage is also referred to as convalescence.
