COLOURBOARD / January '19

January is a mysterious month. Hidden in the low light and short days is the fizzing unknown promise of a brand new year. Exciting in all the things it holds that will unfold, with a nod to the old and smile to the approaching. For us, it is a blue month. Not in the sense of feeling glum (as many people term the January Blues) but in a powerful sense of intrigue and mystery. In colour terms, this year our January sits close to indigo with a dash of ink and watery interruptions of jeans blue. And in mood, it follows on from December (celebrating the old year) with a renewed appreciation of simple things and a quietly evolving celebration of the new.

So here it is, our January Colourboard. As with our last, it is rather like a moodboard and a colour palette, but more about colour than mood, and richer than just a palette. An inspirational collection of images that we will take forward into the studio to inform our experiments over the coming weeks.
