Join the only colour-centric design magazine on the planet!

United Colours of Design magazine has been in publication since October 2020. With over 30,000 views we are proving to be a major contender for inspiration, business advice and lifestyle support in the design and creative community.

What sets us apart? Colour!

Each edition focuses on a different colour, moving from black to copper, through the rainbow and up into white, platinum, gold and silver. We will never run out of topics because as we come to the end of the colour ladder, we will be ready to start again!

What colour glasses will you wear?

Each colour has spiritual, physical, practical, past life and emotional connections, it is truly amazing how much we can tell about one another using the psychology of colour.

In every edition we see our designs, artwork, mood and personal/business journey through the lens of each colour. As a columnist you will be asked to put on your “rose coloured glasses” so to speak and see your industry through the featured colour.

We have an Editorial meeting prior to each edition where we discuss topic ideas that relate to the colour we’re working with. These are interactive sessions where we bounce ideas off one another and explore the colour on multiple levels as it applies to your fellow columnists.

 

Why join us?

An exerpt from Think and Grow Rich, Napoleon Hill, “No two minds ever come together without thereby creating a third, invisible intangible force, which may be likened to a third mind [the master mind].”

Now imagine the invisible, intangible force that can be created when 30+ creative, dynamic, thought-provoking Rainbow Warriors come together!
