EDITORIAL: Colour printing is expensive. But hey, we forked out, because what's the point of having a Colours Issue without that al l-important visual punch?
You just can't understate the power of the visual in evoking emotion. Visual perception is instant, and so therefore, is its impact. The symbolism in colour is boundless and transcends cultures, and so the possiblities are endless when in comes to manipulating colour for our own ends - especial ly in the art of politics.
With this inaugural issue of The Diplomat we want to kick off with a vibrant start to our humble attempts at making politics and current affairs just a little more light-hearted and fun for everyone. We figured everyone needs a little
colour in their lives! So this one (and every other one, actually) is on us. From the use of colour in politics, to the colourful lives of politicians and diplomats, we hope we've covered enough of a spectrum to spark some curiosity.
If you're reading this, you must have picked this up to take a look. And if it was that all-important splash of colour on the cover that attracted you, then that's just testament to the power of colour. (Less)
