Welcome to Tint.

Welcome to Tint.

Philipp Otto Runge, Colour Spheres c 1810.

I have worked as a journalist for 35 years, writing about every aspect of colour, design and materials. I have weathered seismic changes in publishing, politics and culture, not to mention a global pandemic and the rise of AI. Sadly, there was no getting away from radical changes in print media; people are choosing different platforms for their news and inspiration.

Yet there are still so many stories to tell. This is why I have created Tint Magazine. My ambition is to build a community of like-minded colour and design obsessives and continue writing in a digital format. You can help me achieve this ambition by signing up as a subscriber.

I truly believe that there is a role for stories told by people rather than AI, a belief that stems from this technology's limitations. AI can't talk to people, visit shows, admire the physical quality of a designer's work. It can't curate. Tint Magazine is all about going back to basics, paying attention, making connections, visiting those shows and reporting back. That is the plan.
