COLORS ISSUE N° 79 “COLLECTOR” WINNER OF THE SILVER CUBE at THE ADC 90TH ANNUAL AWARD
Treviso, April 27th, 2011. The Art Directors Club (www.adcglobal.org), the premier organization for creatives in integrated media and the first global creative collective of its kind, announced yesterday the winners of its prestigious ADC 90th Annual Awards.
COLORS “Collector”, the magazine‟s Winter 2010/2011 issue, has obtained the Silver Cube in the Editorial Design Category.
COLORS 79 “Collector” is dedicated to those who amass, categorise and catalogue objects of the same type. They may be collectors of nature, works of art or, in most cases, everyday objects which, because they are rare, distinctive or represent something special, become extraordinary cult objects, steeped in memories that feed passions and obsessions.
True to its tradition as a „magazine that talks about the rest of the world‟, “Collector” seeks to celebrate the diversity of local cultures and of creativity, casting a contemporary eye on tradition and crossing the boundaries between ordinary and extraordinary, between reality and representation. These objects of desire, refined, coveted and exchanged, thus become the pretext for a journey into the history of design, graphics and industrial production, and at the same time, into the habits, interests and needs of human beings.
COLORS 79 “Collector” is edited by French designer Sam Baron, in collaboration with the design department at FABRICA, which he directs.
COLORS is a quarterly magazine read by young adults across the world. Established in 1991, under the editorship of Oliviero Toscani and Tibor Kalman, with the premise that diversity is positive but that all cultures have equal value, it is sold in over 40 countries and published in four bilingual editions (English + Italian, French, Spanish and Korean).
Pictures are, above all else, COLORS’ expressive medium: a method that is universal and reaches the greatest number of people with a strong, immediate impact. Using this visual language, COLORS’ themes alternate between the challengingly serious, such as ecology, wars around the world, the fight against aids, and the frankly frivolous such as shopping, fashion, and toys.
