For the latest issue of Better Homes and Gardens Magazine, Marcus for SMH, Inc was asked to produce a color trends story with the color Yellow.
As most of you would know we love a color trends story and yellow is a particular favorite, Yellow is often reminiscent of the 1960's where some the inspiration for the propping came from for this image using some items actually sourced from that era including some of the yellow plastic molded trays and ceramic dishes. It was the era of "Mellow Yellow" but in our eyes, mellow is hardly a word you would call yellow, When Donavan sang "They call me Mellow Yellow" in 1966, It was rumoured he was singing about smoking dried banana leaves, Maybe it was just a color that had popularity in the 1960's as soon after in the same year the Beatles released "Yellow Submarine" with Donavan's help, he was obviously into the color!
It's so much fun to create these stories most months for Better Homes and Gardens and to work once again with the delightful Photographer Kat Teutsch.
