| Dear Xymara Reader "We hope you enjoy exploring our world of effects!" I say that every issue of our newsletter, and the feedback has been great! However there have not yet been very many opportunities for you to interact with us face-to-face and for us to show you the Ciba® XYMARA™ world of effects and emotions … until now! Yes, you can meet us and see all our effects, stylings and products in the flesh at the 100% Design show, September 19-23. Come by our stand, M125 at Earl's Court in London! We've won gold! In case we haven't shouted it loud enough, we are proud to announce that our online design magazine, INMYX, has won the Gold iF communication Award for Screen Design. One of the clues to successful design is understanding the changing needs of the targeted "users" of your design. To that end, understanding trends in society and culture as well as in art and design are of paramount importance. We at XYMARA.com place great emphasis on researching and analyzing trends. We've been presenting exclusive trend reports in our newsletter from the very beginning. Our latest Color Trend Research report (exclusive, as always, to our newsletter) has a look at the impact of one specific sub-culture - that of the surfer - and looks at how that impacts the wider design esthetic of contemporary society. As you will have noticed, we're continuously improving our site and the latest addition is to our Newsletter page, where we've added an archive of all our previous newsletters. That way, you can keep easier track of them, while your friends can see previous issues without your having to forward them one by one! So, once more: We hope you enjoy exploring our world of effects! Le Vin Chin Editor-in-Chief xymara.com News What's new and what's happening in the world of effects?
