Sindroms is an independent magazine built on a concept so simple it borders on genius: each issue is devoted to a single colour. One colour, explored through art, fashion, design, photography, psychology, science, and the cultural associations that make colours mean different things to different people in different places. Red. Blue. Yellow. White. Each issue is a monograph on a wavelength of light, and the result is a publication unlike anything else in independent publishing.
The photography and art direction are, necessarily, extraordinary — every image exists within the chromatic universe of the issue's chosen colour, creating a visual experience that is immersive and almost synaesthetic. The writing explores the cultural, historical, and emotional dimensions of colour with the kind of interdisciplinary curiosity that the best independent magazines bring to their subjects. A feature on the colour red might move from the science of why we perceive it as warm to the history of its use in religious iconography to the fashion designers who built entire collections around it.
The format is elegant and considered — printed on heavy stock with production values that do justice to the visual intensity of the concept. For readers who believe that the world is best understood one colour at a time, Sindroms offers a reading experience that is as visually intoxicating as it is intellectually stimulating.
