Inspire

Vol. 2
Volume 2
With this edition I wanted to explore the use of
colour since our culture is currently colour crazy.
Everyone’s craving attention and always adopting
the next unique trend. I don't mind a future like
that, if it means we avoid Star Trek uniforms as Gene
Roddenberry predicted in his TV series Star Trek.
Volume 2 is this team’s exploration into where
things already seem to be heading: walk the streets
of Toronto or New York and you’ll see for yourself.

This magazine began with the desire to take what

I love to do and just run with it. You may have
wondered where Volume 2’s inspiration came from?
The goal was to create an explosion of vibrante
colours that overwhelms our senses. I never set out
to create the realistic; we see that every day already!
I hope that after viewing the surreal it will invoke
a greater sense of passion for what you do next in
your life.

I would like to personally thank everyone involved in

this volume’s creation. It was a pleasure retouching
and designing your hard work. Thank you for seeing
the big picture and the enjoyment in creating some-
thing unique. It's been a great learning experience to
work with everyone in making this vision true.
