COLORS 76 – Teenagers with Added Augmented Reality

COLORS 76 – Teenagers
A new website, a new journey, a bigger reality From one change to another, Colors is also beginning a new journey to mark its 18th year.

The Internet was only a promise when the magazine first hit the newsstands in 1991, and the world of communications belonged to the professionals. Today Colors attempts to bridge the two
worlds by uniting readers with editorial staff in a new collaborative space. Writers, photographers and ordinary readers have already put together many of the stories in this issue by submitting unsolicited work
to the new http://www.colorsmagazine.com/.

A participatory platform merging editors and readers and turning the public into producers, the new website is a place where anyone can submit their work or make suggestions for the next issue’s theme. The site is also an interactive stop along the journey of reading the magazine, in which the word magazine takes on a new meaning made of both paper and screen, photography and video. This ‘augmented reality’ is 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.
Colors 76 – Teenagers Available at newsstands and bookshops in three bilingual editions
(English + Italian, French or Spanish) from October 2009. More info:www.colorsmagazine.com/
