Graphic designer John Jansen created a range of organic inks for his graduation project at Gerrit Rietveld Academy, Amsterdam.

Suitable for silk-screening, Jansen restricted himself to using vegetables and fruit that have their own juice – when cut, it had to “bleed” the juice.

The variety of colours was created using spinach, beetroot, red cabbage, carrot, sea-buckthorn and blueberry.
