COLOR MAGAZINE REST IN PRINT: 2003–2013

Fourcorner 于2014年1月6日正式宣布旗下致力于北美滑板文化推广的Color杂志停止其纸质出版物的发售，而正式转向推广滑板的新途径之中，在这儿，全体成员将会全身心地投入到滑板文化的推广里，又一本滑板杂志要离开我们了...
Vancouver, BC – January 6, 2014 – After more than 10 straight years of publishing skateboard culture to the North American spectra, Fourcorner Publishing Inc. announces it has ceased printing Color magazine, to take an extended hiatus from the traditional methods. The creators behind the lifestyle brand, will however be moving forward in exciting new ways with more dedication to bolstering skateboard culture than ever before.

2013年是Color杂志重要的一年，这一年里Color找到了新的方向，重新设计杂志，并且更加注重体验式的发布，这些对媒体界和Color杂志自身来说都是段很棒的时间。这本滑板Lifestyle杂志里突出了加拿大的滑板，音乐，艺术和潮流，大伙儿决定继续将这种独一无二的经历向外传播，只要创始人Alessandro Grison还掌管着Color

Grison说：“Color一直是我的梦想，它让我有机会可以结识Guy Mariano, Danny Way, Eric Koston, Muska, Reynolds这些我心中的英雄，给了我从没体会过的经历，让我开阔了眼界”
Fourcorner出版公司意识到，如果没有Color的忠实读者，Color想要继续走下去会很难，不过Color并不是单纯秉着做生意的头脑做杂志，出版商的激情来源于读者不断的帮助和鼓舞，这也让Grison有感而发：“我做杂志时所付出的，与我得到的相等，我们得到的都是自身的经历。我会一直感谢遇到的那些了不起的人物，这些年和他们共事让我在离开时充满了值得回忆的东西”

2013 was a great year that saw Color begin moving in a new direction, starting with a redesign of the magazine and increased focus on experiential publishing. It is certainly an exciting time in media and Color,  the skateboard lifestyle publication that highlighted music, art, fashion and skateboarding talent in Canada intends to continue doing so by producing unique experiences in those fields for as long as founder/producer Alessandro Grison is at the reigns.

“Color has been a dream for me.” said Grison. “Guy Mariano, Danny Way, Eric Koston, Muska, Reynolds… The magazine gave me the opportunity to sit and get to know so many of my heros and experience things I never thought I would in my lifetime. It opened my eyes to a world outside of my own as I hope it did for others”.

Fourcorner Publishing Inc. recognizes that the legacy Color Magazine leaves behind would not be made possible without the support from its loyal advertisers and devout readership, but Color wasn’t conceived for the purpose of doing business, it was always a passion for the publisher who was consistently inspired and motivated by the people who helped put it all together. This is where it gets emotional for Grison:

“I may have received back just as much as we gave [while making the magazine]—which was always all of ourselves. I am forever grateful for the amazing people I met and got the opportunity to work with over the years. I’m thankful to walk away enriched by memorable experiences”.

Back issues of Color Magazine will be available at Agenda (Long Beach, CA – Jan. 7/8, 2014) and KnowShow (Vancouver, BC – Jan. 15-17, 2014) with representatives in attendance to discuss upcoming and future projects.
