The overarching theme of CO Digital Publishing for 2025 is Language. The theme delves into the various ways visual elements communicate complex ideas and emotions. From patterns and textures to symbols and ideograms, CO aims to explore how these visual forms serve as universal languages, and tell rich, complex stories without words.
Show us how these visual elements express deep emotions, cultural identities, and personal beliefs. If you’re passionate about the magic of visual storytelling, we want to hear your unique perspective. You can apply with one of our subthemes:
- Visual Language explores how patterns and textures in design, fashion, and jewellery communicate rich cultural and personal stories, revealing the deeper meanings behind visual details.
- Semiotics of Gold examines how jewellery acts as a symbolic language, conveying messages of status, dedication, and personal conviction, while also exploring its literary depictions and deeper meanings.
- Iconography and Ideograms explores how materials, symbols and ideograms serve as a universal visual language, conveying complex ideas and emotions across cultures.
To submit, please send us a compelling pitch of no more than 300 words via the application form here. The selected writers will be compensated according to the Fair Practice Code.
The deadline for submitting your pitch is 15 November 2024.
We’re eager to amplify voices that echo beauty, intricacy, and depth. Whether you’re a seasoned scribe or a budding writer, if you have a tale that intertwines with jewellery’s shimmer, we want to hear it.
