Colour Forecast Research 2026+
Workshop, 12 October 2024 in Borne, the Netherlands
Are you are interested to know how a colour forecast is developed? Come and join us on Saturday, 12 October 2024, for a 1-day workshop about Colour Forecasting.
This very special workshop is taking place at the studio of a colour trend forecaster Anna Maria Nyk and includes an optional studio tour on October 11.
If you are a designer (or a product manager, a stylist…) looking to gain insight into the colour trends for the 2026+ and also learn how to conduct colour trend research, this workshop is for you.
What will you gain? You will get a different perspective on the world around you and will be able to translate this into colours.
In this workshop we will study macro developments and evaluate the assignments which the participants have prepared upfront. Ingredients that we will put on the table are images, colours and key wordings. Together we will look for connections and the common thread. During an intense and collaborative process we will filter the information and shape/set up a few colour trend stories. These will be accurate for the near future and a good foundation to use.
INFO
This workshop is led by two colour professionals: Anna Maria Nyk and Jeannette Hanenburg
Colour experience: basic colour knowledge is required
Participants need to prepare upfront and will be briefed properly*
The workshop is based on teamwork (interdisciplinary)
