Core Colour

Spring Summer 2022 editorial 2

core

‘Core’ is a colour magazine

that looks to seasonal lifestyles.

The word ‘core’ has many interpretations. The word can be taken literally such as an apple core or naturally like the core of a tree or in common usage, core means the muscles of your torso.

‘Core’, the editorial, aims to capture everyday life in a contemporary approach through colour and composition while having a sustainable consciousness and traceability.

A powerful Spring/Summer colour story of red and green underpins this seasonal edition.

These two colours compliment each other and are very evocative of fresh starts, green living, and passion. The extended editorial aims to highlight the freshness of the colour palette and the connotations of the individual colours. It takes a sensory and immersive approach to present fashion, beauty, food and homewares so that viewers can almost touch and taste the featured objects and ideas.
