In this issue of Viewpoint Colour, we explore the essence of humanity. Looking at ways design, fashion, art and other creative forms reflect on the human condition. Starting at our origin, followed by all the things that root us from our ancestors to our birth, ending the journey with death, which doesn’t necessarily mean the end of life. Colour is of great importance during this journey, speaking to us through memory and constantly influencing our feelings. In our Arise issue we seek to inspire and inform, helping you with colour decisions for a world that is more visually sophisticated than ever. We hope you will enjoy this issue.
