In The Joy Issue, we explore the joy of creativity, featuring creatives who design joy into their practices to spread positivity, optimism, and happiness. Generating joy has a domino effect; uplifting and inspiring maker and creative which then spreads to those who encounter their work, in turn influencing mental health, helping us achieve happiness and meaning, even acting as a powerful force for activism and change. Responding with determination to the current challenges of the past two years, designers, creatives, thinkers, and activists featured in this issue, illustrate how color, creativity and ingenuity go hand in hand to bring joyfulness. Recognizing that what constitutes a joyful life is as individual as every human being, we embrace a range of colors from muted pastels and shades redolent of the earth to a euphoric showcase of zingy hues imbued with youthful energy to super bright tones reminiscent of grunge. We hope this issue brings not only inspiration, but a sense of joy, and an openness to be bold and playful.
