welcome
Welcome to Colour: Design & Creativity, the online journal from the Society of Dyers and Colourists (SDC) for the professional and academic colour and design community. The journal aims to fill a perceived gap in the field of colour practice and education; one where professional people, from a diverse range of disciplines in which colour plays an important role, can come together to exchange knowledge and ideas, and perhaps begin to develop a common language to facilitate communication in the fascinating world of colour.
Current Issue
The current issue (issue 5) is now open and articles will be published as soon as possible after acceptance. This new publishing model for the journal was implemented in September 2009 and has proved beneficial to both authors and readers as accepted papers and galleries are made available online at the earliest convenience.
The first article to be published online was the editorial for this issue: AIC Colour Congress 2009 in Sydney, Australia by Nick Harkness (guest editor). To view this issue, please click here. A total of 15+ papers are being considered for this issue; all pre-selected by the special issue committee, led by the guest editor Nick Harkness. A full list of scheduled content is available here (PDF).
A searchable ‘at a glance’ listing of the full journal content is available to download as a PDF document (see the blue panel on the left). This includes all the material that has been accepted for publication and is currently in production, along with the entire catalogue of published content with direct links to the online articles.
The journal follows an ‘open issue’ publishing model (implemented in September 2009), which is beneficial to both authors and readers as content is made available online ahead of the full issue being compiled.
