Issue No. 76 / Teenagers.
In 2009 COLORS became the first print magazine in the world to utilise Augmented Reality, & was awarded Best AR Application by Creative Review for that year.
Every minute girls and boys across the globe discover their individuality and start off on the endless path of trying to find oneself. Colors has dedicated its 76th issue to the ambitions, dreams and defeats of teenagers in the rest of the world. ‘Augmented reality’ is also a central component of Colors 76. Just find the square black-and-white codes printed on the magazine’s pages, aim them at a webcam and access ‘augmented reality’: meet the people featured in this issue through uncut interviews and behind the scenes footage.
Visually, we wish to contrast the child self with the adult, the undefined with the distinguished, the genesis of the creation of our identities, & perhaps, the first significant juncture on the quest for the self. We want to see exactly how the teenagers of our world are declaring themselves aesthetically through these years, & what better way then capturing them firstly as yet untouched by this incredible metamorphosis, & then at its conclusion.
