Harking back to sense

If you’re a fan of 2000s magazine culture don’t look further than Indigo’s very own predecessor, sense. Establishing its presence as Palatinate’s original glossy arts and lifestyle magazine, sense properly began on 12 May 2000 under editors Tim Bradshaw and Jules Fossett. The first edition is full of 2000s nostalgia, featuring a review of Gladiator and an interview with Guy Berryman, the bassist from Coldplay. Predominantly printed in black and white with an edgy sprinkle of lower-case, the first edition is definitley striking in comparison to today’s Indigo.

One of the most interesting aspects of sense’s content is the magazine’s editorials. Split between ‘him’ and ‘her’, each editor seemingly takes the opportunity to either rave or rant about a specific topic that has interested them that week. So, in the spirit of Palatinate’s 75th anniversary edition, Indigo Editors Charlotte and Cameron have taken this stroll down memory lane as an excuse to consider their own time on the paper.
