MIX Magazine is the print and digital biannual for design and colour professionals.

Created and published by Colour Hive, over 140 pages you’ll find thought provoking influences and insightful editorial that bring context and depth to the design directions.

In each issue, you'll find...

DESIGN DIRECTIONS | Each of the four design directions for the season is explored over 30 informative and inspiring pages.

OVERVIEW | An in-depth editorial on the global drivers informing the story with an introduction to the narrative and visual aesthetic.

FEATURES & ESSAYS | For each story we commission editorial features to explore aspects of the drivers in more depth. 

COLOUR PALETTES | Each design direction has a palette of eight colours, an analysis of structure and composition and palette building with proportions.

MIX colours are referenced to closest PANTONE® TPG, NCS – Natural Colour System® and RAL Design colours, plus RGB, LAB and CMYK breakdowns and HEX codes.

COLOUR FLOW | The complete seasonal palette in both a flow and swatch format highlights the overall colour direction and Continuity Colours.

CONTINUITY COLOURS | Reflecting a less transient approach to colour development, each season we carry through ten key colours and reframe them in new contexts.

COLOUR OBSERVATIONS | To assist with effective colour planning, here we chart how colour families are evolving with a season-on-season comparison infographic. 

COLOUR REFERENCES | A season-on season comparison view of colours by family.

SURFACE & PATTERN | Two double page mood boards for each story give a first look at surface and pattern aesthetics.

GEOGRAPHIC FOCUS | Each design direction is viewed through a regional lens with contributions from local experts. This unique perspective features drivers and applications as well as region-specific colour nuances.

BOOKMARKS | Enhance your research with ideas for further reading.

SCHEDULE | An exhibition planner for the year ahead.
